PGXAConnection represents a physical connection to the database, so you
certainly can't make that Serializable.

What kind of issues are you having in Arjuna? It can't depend on
serialization of XAResources; there's nothing in the spec saying an
XAResource implementation needs to be serializable, and a quick look at
other DBMS XAResource implementations suggests that they generally aren't.
