JBoss Transactions, Rules and Messaging

[kdilber]

To whom it may concern

I would like to develop a transaction switch. I mean an application that receive a transaction as input, process the transaction and finally address it to a host.

For instance, I would like get transactions from a Point of Sale (POS). Apply them some business rules in some middle layers (that support financial transactions) and deliver them to a server or an authorizing host.

My question is : JBoss Transactions is enough to do that ?
or I will need to work with JBoss Rules and JBoss Messaging too ?

I would appreciate any guideline about that.
Thanks in advance.

Hiya Kirk.

JBoss TS will manage a transaction (in the transactional sense) but it sounds as if you are referring to a business logic transaction.

You are free to use JBoss Rules or JBoss Messaging in combination with JBoss Transactions should they fit your requirements.
