Creating Reliable, Long-Running Transactions in SOA Environments

If an ACID approach is not ideal for long running services based transactions, what is the alternative?
The answer: take a compensation-based approach.

Rather than implement a long-running transaction as one giant distributed ACID transaction, a compensation-based approach treats each service invocation as one short local ACID transaction, committed as soon as it has executed. It's an approach that drastically reduces lock duration, and reduces the risk of denial of service attacks - but at the expense of rollback ability.  Read more about this topic in our whitepaper "Composite Transactions for SOA."
