JBoss Transaction Service (JBossTS) assures
complete, accurate business transactions for any
Java based applications, including those written for
the Java EE and EJB frameworks.
JBossTS is a 100% Java implementation of a
distributed transaction management system based on
the Sun Microsystems Java EE Java Transaction Service
(JTS) standard. Our implementation of the JTS
utilizes the Object Management Group's (OMG) Object
Transaction Service (OTS) model for transaction
interoperability as recommended in the Java EE and EJB
standards. Although any JTS-compliant product will
allow Java objects to participate in transactions,
one of the key features of JBossTS is it's 100% Java
implementation. This allows JBossTS to support fully
distributed transactions that can be coordinated by
distributed parties.
JBossTS runs can be run both as an embedded
distributed service of an application server
(e.g. JBossAS), affording the user all the
added benefits of the application server
environment such as real-time load balancing,
unlimited linear scalability and unmatched fault
tolerance that allows you to deliver an
always-on solution to your customers. It is also
available as a free-standing Java Transaction
Service.
In addition to providing full compliance with
the latest version of the JTS specification, JBossTS
leads the market in providing many advanced
features such as fully distributed transactions
and ORB portability with POA support.
JBossTS works on a number of operating systems including
Red Hat linux, Sun Solaris and Microsoft Windows XP.
It requires a Java 5 or later environment.
The Java Transaction API support for JBossTS comes
in two flavours:
-
a purely local implementation, that does not
require an ORB, but obviously requires all
coordinated resources to reside within the
same JVM.
- a fully distributed implementation.
Key features

support for distributed transactions
(utilizing two-phase commit)

(co-located with the transaction
initiator) or transaction manager
server
