Over the past week, I implemented a prototype of Transaction Recovery for our transaction manager. It is probably a bit naive and doesn't perform very well, but it does seem to work with my very minimal testing. We're looking for somebody to drive this, so if you, dear reader, are interested, let us know.

More information can be found here on our JTA TX Recovery WIKI page.

How's this for irony though? Tuesday night I was finishing up the impl of the prototype when my laptop crashed with the blue-screen-of-death. It took me about 4 hours to get my laptop up long enough to recover the work I had done on TX Recovery. It would have been even more ironic if I wasn't able to recover the code. After a wasted day of setting up email and a development environment on one of my desktops, I'm finally back to being productive.

Happing Hunting,
