Understanding Transaction Pitfalls

Transaction processing should achieve a high degree of data integrity and consistency. This article by IBM, the first in a series on developing an effective transaction strategy for the Java platform, introduces common transaction pitfalls that can prevent you from reaching this goal. Using code examples from the Spring Framework and the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 specification, series author Mark Richards explains these all-too-common mistakes.

Releases 3.7.0M4 are Out!

New releases are now available for Atomikos ExtremeTransactions and TransactionsEssentials. These releases include the latest milestone builds, with cosmetic updates, and were produced by our new release process and build infrastructure. We are now officially using maven and mercurial for our builds, instead of ant and svn. Also, we have tuned our repository architecture to better match our business model: we are now tuned towards more frequent releases of ExtremeTransactions and optimized even more for our support business.

So we hope you enjoy the new releases as much as we do! Beware though: they are milestone builds, meaning they are bound to have minor issues still. This is mostly due to initial imperfections in our new build process. After all, it _is_ a new way of working for all of us!  Download the new releases today.
