Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The paper describes an annotation-based Java framework for supporting Transactional Web Services. We provide a framework for automated management of compensations in Business Activity type extended transactions. Unlike rollbacks in traditional ACID transactions, these usually require substantial implementation effort by business programmers. Our annotations provide a flexible, intuitive and easy to use alternative. With a few declarative statements, users can configure the relationship between units of work and their compensations. The framework manages all aspects of the execution of the compensations, ensuring a reliable, consistent transaction outcome.
