Transaction management

[ravinderSingh singh]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand the various transaction API's used in EJB.

I understand that the Java Transaction Service (JTS) is java's implementation of the OMG's Object Transaction Service (OTS) but I don't understand where the Java Transaction API (JTA) fits in to the whole picture?

Thanks...

short explanation:

JTS (Java Transaction Service) is transaction manager implementation which supports JTA (Java Transaction API)

So JTA only defines interfaces that let applications participate in transactions regardless of JTS implementations.

Do you need more information?

That should be ok.

Just to clarify, JTS is java's implementation of the OMG's Object Transaction Service (OTS) and is used to support the JTA?
