Potential bug (needs more investigation):
When XA start() is called on the XAResource an exception is thrown if the connection is currently involved in a local transaction. If I am reading the XA and JTA specs correctly this local transaction should be suspended when start() is called and resumed again on end().

Investigation required: re-read specs to see if above intepretation is correct.
