JBoss Transactions Features

JBossTS is a pure Java multi-modal transaction service that supports distributed transactions in CORBA, J2EE and Web services environments.

• Standards compliance
  • CORBA Object Transaction Service (OTS)
  • Java Enterprise (J2EE) transactions
    • Java Transaction API (JTA)
    • Java Transaction Service (JTS)
  • Web services transactions
    • Web Services Coordination (WS-Coordination)
    • Web Services Atomic Transaction (WS-AtomicTransaction)
    • Web Services Business Activity Framework (WS-BusinessActivity)
• J2EE and CORBA transactioning features
  • Complete distributed transaction support
  • Automated failure recovery system
  • Flexible deployment: centralized and distributed transaction manager options
  • Interposition support for improved distributed transaction performance
  • POA ORB support
  • Support for both checked and unchecked transaction behaviour
  • Support for both flat and nested transaction models, with nested-aware resources and resource adapters
  • Support for CosTransaction::Current API
  • Direct and indirect transaction management
  • Synchronization interface support
  • Transaction heuristic support
  • Explicit and implicit transaction context propagation
  • Multi-thread aware
• Tested Database XA Resource Managers (for JBossTS 4.7.0.GA)
  • Oracle 10.2 using Oracle 10.2 thin driver
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 using Microsoft JDBC driver 2.0
  • IBM DB2 8.2.7 using IBM v9 driver
  • PostgreSQL 8.1.9 using PostgreSQL 8.3.604 driver
  • MySQL 5.0.22 using MySQL 5.1.7 driver
  • Sybase 12.5.3 using jConnect 6.0
  • Additionally the databse/driver combinations listed on the EAP page can reasonably be expected to work
• Web services transactioning features
  • Ensures reliable coordination and application data consistency for business processes that involve Web services.
  • Supports transaction models for both intra-enterprise (EAI) and inter-enterprise (supply chain) Web services integration.
  • Allows for consistent real-time updates across any component or resource involved in the business process.
  • Fully automated crash recovery provides fast, unattended restoration of service after component failures.
  • Future-proof, generic coordination engine architecture supports pluggable protocols.
  • Currently supports the WS-Coordination WS- AtomicTransaction and WS-BusinessActivity specifications. Supports the leveraging of existing transaction infrastructure investments.
  • Architected for portability across a wide- range of Web services platforms. Supports the open source JBoss application server for highly cost effective development and deployment.
  • Close integration with enterprise Java standards, allowing Web services transactions to seamlessly integrate with J2EE application servers, messaging systems and database back- ends.
  • Easy to use Java programming interfaces, based on the emerging JAXTX standard. A rich programming framework reduces overhead in adding transactioning capabilities to Web services.
  • Leverages Arjuna's long history in transaction software, including the industry proven coordination engine, ArjunaCore - as used in the Bluestone and HP application servers.
