Apache OpenEJB is embedded implementation of Geronimo EJB container that includes Transaction Manager. OpenEJB can be embedded into Tomcat which is one of its intended usages.

Added note that now all this is Java EE 6 certified like JBoss or GlassFish. New name is Apache TomEE. Tomcat, with missing parts added. – David Blevins Feb 01 '12 at 19:30

If you specifically want the Geronimo TX manager, then see @topchef's answer.

If you're just looking for a free, open-source TX manager, though, the JOTM is a TX manager that embeds nicely inside Tomcat.

I should ask why you need this, though. If all you need to do is JDBC transactions against a single DataSource, then you don't need a TX manager. You only need one if you want to do full JTA transactions.

AFAIK, Geronimo uses Jencks that can be used standalone. But I can't say it's heavily documented. I'd rather consider using Atomikos or JBossTM.
