Java Transaction Processing: Design and Implementation The J2EE transactions guide for serious enterprise developers
This is the definitive guide to leveraging transactions using state-of-the-art J2EE technologies. The authors offer clear, comprehensive explanations of underlying transaction concepts, and deep insights into J2EE and Java from a transactional perspective. They also introduce emerging standards and implementations that will enable broad interoperability across heterogeneous environments-including new Web services standards for building far more reliable systems. Coverage includes:

The fundamentals of distributed transactions
Transaction models and their representation in Java, including both JTA and JTS
Transactional connectivity to relational databases through JDBC
JMS facilities for local and distributed transactions
Transactional support provided by Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
Transactional interactions via the Java Connector Architecture (JCA)
Key J2EE architectural considerations for mission-critical transactional applications
Planned modifications to J2EE to support new distributed application paradigms

No other book offers developers, architects, and integrators as sophisticated an understanding of J2EE transactions-or more practical guidance on exploiting them in mission-critical applications.
