Abstract
It is believed that transactions belong to key services of component-based middleware. However, surprisingly, there is no general agreement on how the component-based middleware support for transactions should look like. In this paper we exploit our experiences with Jironde [4], a flexible framework that extends the Fractal component model [1,2] with transactions via a set of transactional controllers that manage transactions on behalf of a component. Then we identify several key architectural and technical issues related to enhancing component-based middleware with transactions. We investigate how current technologies address theses issues, and the suitability of current standards to support transaction processing in component-based middleware.
