First of all I would like to thank the Arjuna team for providing a good sample application, got it to work easily with JBoss 3.2.5, although spent too much trying to get it too work with JBoss3.2.6 an up.

I have a question with fault recovery for BusinessActivity transactions. Lets take the travel booking scenario as an example where someone needs to book an:
1. Airline
2. Taxi
3. Hotel

No consider this scenario:
1. Quotes are obtained from all three services and customer is ready to make a booking.
2. The participant for airline service makes the booking and returns service successful.
3. Now the participant invokes the taxi service booking, but just after the booking is made the participant goes down say due to power failure.
4. Since the participant does not return true, the business logic tries to book taxi from another company.

So my question is: can the scenario mentioned in step 3 happen? If so are there anyways to recover?

Thanks for you help in advance.
Amish.

The subject should rather be failure recovery, not fault recovery.

Hiya Amish.

Sorry for the delay in responding to your posting.

Can I please ask you to repost your message in the forums on www.jboss.org? Please look for the 'Design of JBoss Transaction Services' forum and mention in the posting that it concerns Arjuna TS.

The reason for this is that JBoss acquired the Transaction products at the beginning of December and we are currently migrating to their site.

Thanks for your help,
Kev
