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

Prerequisites

1. To run this sample it is required to deploy synpase on JBoss application server (This is only tested with JBoss application sever), you can use the war distribution to deploy synapse on JBoss application server.

2. Use the synpase_sample_652.xml as the synapse confiuration file and start JBoss with that synpase configuration file.

3. Define two XA datasources for above two datasources.

Tip

Refer JBoss documentation to see how to do this.

4. 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/
