confusion about the package structure of XTS

mysl Jan 22, 2007 9:19 PM

Hello, I have some confusions about the package structure of the XTS in JBoss Transaction. According to the document, it supports both WS-TX and WS-CAF. Then are ws-c.jar and ws-t.jar the implementations of WS-TX and wscf.jar , ws-tx.jar the implementations of WS-CAF? Can I just use WS-TX or WS-CAF instead of including both of them? Do they have dependences on each other? The inner package structures make me a little confused, e.g. I found under the package com.arjuna.mw both wst and wstx exist. Additionally, I guess the wsas.jar may be sth. related to the J2EE Activity Service for Extended Transactions. Then what's the role it plays in XTS. Thanks a lot!

In order to use WS-TX you do not need to use WS-CAF. All of the jars shipped will be needed though. Please refer to the Programmers Guide for more details, along with the worked demo. If you find issues with the documentation, let us know so we can address them. Thanks.

ok, Thanks although I am still confused :-). Actually I have already read the programming guide and run the demo, but I am more curious about the inner architecture. Anyway, Thanks again!

Hello,
Right now I am also a little bit confused about the WS-CAF in the XTS. In the post http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=120042
it says that the WS-CAF is no longer supported. so it is correct to say that the XTS only supports ws-tx?

thanks in advance

Ok, so the way of my understanding right now both specifications the ws-tx and the ws-caf are implmented in the jars of the xts, but only the concept of the ws-tx is used by the xts although you need all the jars to make the xts operational, right? So is there any reason why the ws-caf is not supported and is the interoperability based on the ws-tx? So I have read the Programming Guideline but I haven't seen any hints regarding the ws-caf, so are there any documents about the development of ws-caf in jboss?

thanks

WS-CAF was supported when this was being done within Arjuna. The core code still remains (WS-CAF had better transaction support than WS-TX), but the SOAP stack is no longer available.
