Sudha,
XA is for two phase commit. If you are using two different databases, you need to use an XA Datasource.

Hi,
We are using only one database i.e Oracle 9i. We have webservices too. I dont know why they need Oracle XA Datasource.

If you want to do 2 different things in one unit of work ; you will need to use XA. In your case it may be invoking a webservice and updating a database.

If all your operations in a unit of work is going to a single database ; you do not need a XA driver
