Abstract

See full text

This disclosure describes a solution to this basic problem of transaction management for systems which use the object metaphor to define the interfaces between different components of a system. An elegant solution is described which defines a transaction manager protocol and process, which is independent of the operating system micro-kernel's interprocess communication activities. The object-oriented transaction manager ('TM') creates transactions, keeps track of all object managers (servers) that are a part of a transaction, and coordinates transaction termination among all objects that are involved in the transaction. In addition, operations by naive applications can be made to execute under transaction control without modifying the applications.
