Atomikos Forum

Hi all,

I'm working on a brand new app, and am wondering which artifacts I should use for the latest version (3.7.0); it looks like transactions-essentials-all no longer exists.  See below for what I'm currently using.  Questions:

1. Why would I want to include transactions-jdbc-deprecated & transactions-jms-deprecated?

2. Is transactions-osgi required in non-OSGi environments?

3. What does transactions-osgi get me in OSGi environments (where I intend to use Atomikos)?

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi,

You can/should use transactions-osgi.jar, giving you:

-JDBC
-JMS
-JTA

But not:

Hibernate (include those separately)

As for the deprecated jdbc/jms - never mind for new apps.

HTH

Actually transactions-osgi 3.7.0 do not export any from JDBC nor JMS packages.

It exports only a services - UserTransaction and TransactionManager. It would be nice to put at least one property to these services - service.vendor set to Atomikos.

Also the rest of the modules do not have proper manifests. Fo these who wish to get it running uder OSGi I recommend to stay with 3.6.4 (which provides OSGi manifest for all modules). Then you will need to initialize your TransactionManager and UserTransaction manualy, but it will work.
