Sample 657: Distributed Transaction Management

Objective: Demonstrate the use of the Transaction Mediator in a distributed transaction.

Prerequisites

Start the Synapse configuration numbered 267: i.e. wso2esb-samples.sh -sn 267
Start the Axis2 server and deploy the SimpleStockQuoteService if not already done.

Infor

WSO2 ESB comes with a default JTA transaction manager (Atomikos), which allows you to run distributed transactions without deploying the ESB on an external application server.

1. Use the synpase_sample_652.xml as the synapse confiuration file and start the ESB with that synpase configuration file.

2. Define two XA datasources for above two datasources.

3. Create two database instances, this will be used by the two XA data sources.

Tip

Refer the "Sample Setup Guide" to see how you can set up the derby database server.

In this sample a record is delete from one database and it is added into the second database. If either of the operations(deleting from the first database and adding into the second database) fails everything will be roll backed. The records will be untouched.

Invoke the client as follows.

ant stockquote -Daddurl=http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService -Dtrpurl=http://localhost:8280/ -Dsymbol=SUN/
