Chapter 14: Transaction Services with JTA and JTS

In this chapter, we describe more than the mere application of transactions to databases. We explore those services used to manage transactions in a distributed enterprise system. Distributed objects need to coordinate and define boundaries for access to shared resources. Transaction services provide such support. This chapter expands on the transaction problem and generic transaction service architecture, the CORBA Object Transaction Service (OTS), the Java Transaction API (JTA), and the Java Transaction Service (JTS). As you'll see, the JTS is a Java mapping of the OTS. Finally, we also touch on the latest developments in industry and with Java as it regards transactional Web services.

The JTA and OTS/JTS are all core underlying components that can be utilized by J2EE-based servers. The J2EE specification, in fact, requires that certain APIs defined by the JTA be incorporated into J2EE-compliant servers. Although the J2EE's declarative model for using transactions simplifies application programming, much of the literature and declarative programming conventions describing transaction usage with the J2EE is described in the context of JTA and OTS/JTS constructs and concepts. A basic understanding of the underlying transactions framework will help you make better decisions as an enterprise developer to determine what the best model for declaring transactions is for your components, as well as perhaps being useful for creating standalone distributed enterprise applications.

For good stuff on JTA and JTS :
