@Nitin – Thanks for the comment and thanks for the link to your project. If it had existed two years ago it looks like exactly what I needed I shall remember for the future…

Hi Matthew,
This post was an interesting read on how Apache Commons’s solution can be integrated with your XAResource class. I also note that you have pointed to resource adapter, connection etc.

I had come across this blog many months earlier and since it is quite related to a project I have been working on, I thought I would share with you and others. The project is called XADisk (https://xadisk.dev.java.net/) and is open source for interested folks to look into. Comments/suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks Matthew again for your efforts on this enlightening post…

-Nitin

@Alessandro - I've posted up the EJB test code here.

I don’t know much about Spring so I won’t be able to help with any specifics, but I’ll certainly dig out the EJB code I wrote. It’s in a bit of a mess (I’m not actually using it, I have my own standalone Transaction Manager), and it probably has degraded to the point of not working by now! I’m up to my ears until at least Wednesday, but towards the end of the week I’ll see what I can do.

Good stuff, really!! but looks like like I really miss something. I’d love an example on how to actually use it. I personally use spring, so I have transactional beans, what I’d like to do is embed a fileResourceManager into my transactions. I need a hint on how to pass the xid. Your “trivial” ejb based example should suffice, thanks a lot for your work!

Thanks. I’m certainly interested to know how you get on.

Great post! I am looking to integrate a legacy system which writes its messages to the file system with JMS and bundle the reading of each message file, transformation of it’s content into a message, the sending of that message to a JMS queue and subsequent deletion of the file from the file system into a single transaction.

I had already made use of the Commons transactions stuff for my file system IO but wasn’t sure if I could combine this with my JMS transaction into a single distributed transaction via JTA. It now appears it’s not impossible. I’ll give your ideas a spin and let you know what happens.

Thanks

Awesome initiative! I will probably look into this further for using the idea in a production system. Will keep you posted when I get there. Thank you for taking the time!
