Yes it is.
Send me a private email so we can go through the mechanics of of getting the code integrated - that way we can keep the thread focused on technical content.
Actually thinking about it using a synchronisation to clean up the transaction cache creates a dependency on JTA. The transaction product is modulular with a Core module on top of which we build various transaction protocols such as JTA, JTS, XTS, STM etc. I want to keep the REST module dependent on core only otherwise it won't be usable by these other modules.
So a better idea is for the Coordinator to register itself as a participant and then clean the cache when it is told to commit/rollback.
Sorry if I'm waking up a dead. I downloaded the code and could build it and run it. But still I'm not clear how to test it or use it. Could you please help me to understand? Thank you.
I would either look at the test suite to see how to implement clients and participants or clone and run our quickstarts:

The REST-AT quickstarts are in a directory called rest-tx
