Currently the developer needs to specify the XTS and Bridge handlers on the Web Service that wishes inflow a WS-AT transaction. This is cumbersome and error prone.

It is quite easy to infer if the user needs these handlers by checking to see if the Web Service uses @Transactional or @TransactionAtttibute and by looking for a WS-AT transaction context on the inbound message.

The same can also be done for the Compensations API, by looking for @Compensatable annotations on the Web Service. In which case, only the XTS handler should be added as no bridging is required.
