distributed transactions?

I'm curious about the state-of-the-art or best practices for distributed transactions in Java, particularly with respect to Web services.

Any insights, books, or frameworks would be _greatly_ appreciated. I realize this is quite vague but I'm new to distributed transactions. I do understand the philosophy behind, say, 2-phase commit, but I'm not sure if people are doing that and/or what they are using.

Any thoughts/experiences? Thanks!

Here is a page on distributed transactions as supported by Jini and Javaspaces.

The GigaSpaces company hosting that page is one of the long-time Javaspaces contributors and vendors.

Just came across your post from 2007! I'm probably too late getting to you, but we have an implementation of distributed transactions that is specifically architected for web apps/web services. Take a look at www.CloudTran.com if you're still interested. Basically, we have a transaction manager that does all the logging so we don't need 2-phase commit (which can be slow).
