What parties are involved in transaction processing?

Created Dec 14, 1999

Jerry Smith

There are five principals:

One or more client applications - optionally initiate client-based transactions
One or more application servers - initiate transactions on behalf of clients
The transaction manager - the intermediary between the clients and/or application server and the distributed transaction functionality
One or more resource managers - for service access to external resources
A communication resource manager - for propagation of transaction contexts
