Opening Keynote | Convergence & Interoperability Will Define Next-Generation Cloud Architectures
 In browsing around the Web, as one occasionally does in a free nanosecond, I read an interesting article about twp-phase commit transactions by Gregor Hohpe of ThoughtWorks ('Your Coffee Shop Does Not Use Two Phase Commit'). Gregor comes at the subject from the direction opposite the o...Jun. 21, 2005 01:00 PM EDT Reads: 10,486 |
As I write, the noise level that continues to be generated around open source application servers and their claims to be coming into the world of enterprise computing continues. In my view, the main reason why the noise travels so far and seems so loud has nothing to do with the realit... Feb. 11, 2005 12:00 AM EST Reads: 14,253 |
This issue, in an uncharacteristic attempt to fit in with the Zeitgeist, I propose to depart slightly from my well-trodden path to the transaction manager and take a look at frameworks.

One definition of a commodity is something that you take for granted. I'll bet there aren't many readers out there who wake in the morning and exclaim, 'Thank goodness there's air in the room to breathe!' Likewise, computer users will seldom give thanks for their operating systems, a p... May. 17, 2004 12:00 AM EDT Reads: 16,226 |
This month's article is again inspired by a posting on the weblogic.developer.interest.transaction newsgroup. The question (excerpted from the posting) was: Does the 10 in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml apply to transactions that are in a suspended state? Apr. 9, 2004 12:00 AM EDT Reads: 24,028 Replies: 1 |
 Most developers have at least heard of XA, which describes the standard protocol that allows coordination, commitment, and recovery between transaction managers and resource managers. Products such as CICS, Tuxedo, and even BEA WebLogic Server act as transaction managers, coordinating ...Apr. 9, 2004 12:00 AM EDT Reads: 71,402 Replies: 4 |
Whatever your innermost feelings about the symbols, and however fondly you remember debugging network infrastructures with nothing more than a LAN sniffer and an uncanny ability to interpret 4k blocks of hex, it is fairly safe to say that Web services are here to stay. With the indust... Mar. 10, 2004 12:00 AM EST Reads: 12,441 |
Another discussion based on a weblogic.developer.interest.transaction posting this month. It's a newsgroup that always proves to be a good source of information for the world at large when it comes to transactional behavior (and a good source of inspiration for me when the article time...
