          Hi Dinu,
          Silversword is our upcoming maintenance release for WLS 6.0, and
          should be available in June timeframe.
          If you are only using 1 database instance, you can use Oracle's
          driver in non-XA mode in distributed transactions. Please refer
          to "Configuring non-XA JDBC drivers" section for details: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60/adminguide/managetx.html#1045803.
