Java Transaction API

JDBC is used to connect to database resources. However, to include all changes to multiple databases within a transaction, you must use the JDBC connections within a JTA global transaction, which is described fully in this chapter. The process of including database SQL updates within a transaction is referred to as enlisting a database resource.

This chapter assumes that you have a working knowledge of JTA. The discussion focuses mostly on examples and explaining the differences between Sun Microsystems's JTA specification and the Oracle JTA implementation. See `http://www.javasoft.com` for the Sun Microsystems JTA specification.
