Subject: JTS Query


Greetings group,

Could anyone clear my thoughts regarding the following queries -

1. Is JTS just a Specification or a concrete Implementation that could
provided Transaction service.
>>>It is a spec which vendors write implementations upon.

2. What is the differences between JTS and JTA?
>>>Probably clearest if I quote JTA spec here:

"Java Transaction Service (JTS) is a specification for building a
transaction manager which supports the JTA interfaces at the high-level and
the standard Java mapping of the CORBA Object Transaction Service 1.1
specification at the low-level."

The JTA is a much simpler API that will do much of the work (eg enlisting
resources, etc.) implicitly for you.  Both specifications are quite short
actually so you may want to just check them out to get the full picture.

3. Could I use JTS/JTA directly in my application.
>>>Yes to both (through an actual implementation of course).

4. Do I need any other software to make these API work.
>>>Just the particular vendor's implementation.

5. Who would be really be the provider of this API? Is there any provider
from where I could download the libraries.
>>>Most JTA implementations are part of an appserver in which case you have
WebLogic, WebSphere, Oracle9i, etc. whereas most JTS implementations are
more or less standalone such as the following (there are others of course):

/downloads.jsp#pdt12

Any insights from ur experiences would put me in high spirits :-)
