You will need more than just libxa.a to link your application correctly. You will also need libsql.a, libora.a, libcore.a. If you have network drivers linked into oracle you will also need osntab.o, libsqlnet.a, ntcontab.o, libnetwork.a. You will find all of these in $ORACLE_HOME/lib. You should consult your the Oracle 7.0.12 Installation and User Guide (Chapter 9).

I'm not sure whether we support C++, but I'll guess you will be ok, so long as you use OCI calls to interface to Oracle.

Oracle's xa_switch_t structure name is xaosw.

|> * what the published name of the Oracle XA interface is?

The resource manager's name within the xa_switch_t structure is Oracle_XA.

Again you should consult the documentation, see chapter 9 of the installation guide. It is too detailed to go into here.
