Distributed Transaction system based on WebOTX/S conforming to CORBA Transaction services : Middleware products and technologies

The enterprise systems are shifting toward the open and multi-vendors systems with the stunning spread of the Internet. As a result, the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBAt) proposed by Object Management Groupt (OMG) is becoming a de facto standard of the distributed system. This trend is also spreading to the field of the enterprise system, and the transaction system is no exception to this general trend. OMG is working out the CORBA Transaction Service V1.1 as specifications for transaction on the CORBA, and coexistence of transaction systems among multi-vendors is expected to be further accelerated by a subsequent increase in the number of transaction systems according to this system. This paper discusses the CORBA Transaction Service specifications and WebOTX/S overview.
