Abstract
At the time of this writing, the electronic commerce market place is dominated by business-to-business transactions. This paper describes one such application and our software prototype in support of this application. Our main contribution is a software solutions (using Java) that employs the concept of deltas to maintain consistency in a replicated, distributed environment. Our proposed solution strives to be independent of the schema of the business objects in order to enhance its portability across different applications.
