The latest Glassfish 9.1 milestone release supports transaction
propagation over web services via WSIT transaction support of
2004 WS-Atomic Transaction/Coordination specifications.
There is introductory information on this support available from JavaOne
2006 talk at [1].
There is an early release of WSIT transaction tutorial sample available
at [2]. The tutorial sample illustrates how to write a java web/ejb
transaction client and how to write a transacted java web service.
To quickly summarize the support for transactions over web services, the
user just uses the existing Java EE JTA API.
Configuration of whether a web method is transacted or not is controlled
by WS-Atomic Transaction policy assertions.
The tutorial shows how a Java user can configure the transaction
attributes for each web service implemented
as a servlet.
Currrently, the tutorial is only illustrating a JMS resource. In
future, it will also show usage of Persistence 3.0 API/Toplink
EntityManager
within a distributed transaction and a MS .Net 3.0 client of a
transacted Java web service.
