I've been working with iPlanet App Server 6.0 at a client site for about 3 months now and we're been trying to get their global transaction support to work lately, alas to no avail. I was wondering if Orion has a Transaction Manager that will handle global transactions? I've looked at the JTA spec a bit and it seems that the implementation of the transaction service is a bit foggy. They talk about global transactions in quite a bit of detail in the JTA spec. I'd like to try to use Orion to solve some of our XA protocol/resource manager problems with Oracle 8i. Any thoughts and/or comments would be greatly welcomed. -- chris bartling -- BTW, the decision to use iPlanet was my client's, not mine. Oh how I wish we could move to some like Orion or jBoss.
