What is userTranaction and when we should use it?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
can you please tell me whether userTransaction is just useable for EJBs or we can use it inside some java classes that call two operations on two databases ?
I mean for XA transactions?


Thanks

UserTransaction interface is defined by JTA and can be used from any classes e.g. servlet or a helper class.

If you are using BMT with EJB then you have to use this interface to manage your transaction

Hi
Thank you very much for reply.
here is my scenario and i am looking for a solution for it

I have 2 web services each has one web methods in my application server
one web service will handle database and the other one will handle JMS

i have a command line clinet that use this two web service to insert some data to database and some message to JMS queue.

Now i should make it transaction, i mean both of database and JMS operation should work in context of one transaction.

my web services are inside a war file (servlet based endpoint?) and i am not using EJBs.

Now please tell me any guidline that you know to resolve this problem.


Thanks
