What is the best way to use transactional active objects?

I see the following alternatives and do not know which one is better than the other.

a) Keep @ComponentImport annotation on your classes where you require ActiveObjects like this:

@ComponentImport
private ActiveObjects activeObjects;

And in combination with this add the following to the Spring configuration:

<bean class="com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.TransactionalAnnotationProcessor">
    <constructor-arg ref="activeObjects"/>
</bean>

This solution is based on the ActiveObjects component being available under the name activeObjects or else this will not work.

b) Remove all @ComponentImport annotations from your code and require Spring to resolve ActiveObjects with OSGi so that there is only one instance available to your classes.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:atlassian-scanner="http://www.atlassian.com/schema/atlassian-scanner/2"
       xmlns:osgi="http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/blueprint/schema/blueprint"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
         http://www.atlassian.com/schema/atlassian-scanner/2
         http://www.atlassian.com/schema/atlassian-scanner/2/atlassian-scanner.xsd
         http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/blueprint/schema/blueprint
         http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/blueprint/schema/blueprint/gemini-blueprint.xsd">

    <osgi:reference id="activeObjects">
        <osgi:interfaces>
            <value>com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.ActiveObjects</value>
        </osgi:interfaces>
    </osgi:reference>

    <bean id="tx-processor" class="com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.TransactionalAnnotationProcessor">
        <constructor-arg ref="activeObjects"/>
    </bean>

    <atlassian-scanner:scan-indexes/>

</beans>

Can anybody tell me which of those two alternative is the better way or whether there is another solution to favor over those two?

Have you ever thought of using Atlassian Spring Scanner.

Using above has made my life much more simple.

As you can see from the configuration in my question I am already using Atlassian Spring Scanner but struggling with the best way to inject the Active Objects instance into the Bean Post Processor to handle @Transaction annotations on my service interfaces.

So your answer does not help me to choose from the alternatives I have listed in my question.

@Transaction annotation is not implemented in JIRA. The only way I know is to create a custom transaction object.
