1.3.5.1.2 Outbound Transactions

  • When an ATAssertion with no "Optional=true" is configured, the call must be made in a transaction. If no corresponding XA transaction exists, the WS-TX transaction is initiated but not associated with any Oracle Tuxedo XA transaction. If an XA transaction exists, there is no change in behavior.
  • When an ATAssertion with "Optional=true" is configured, an outbound transaction context is requested only if a corresponding Oracle Tuxedo XA transaction exists in the context of the call.
  • When no ATAssertion is configured for this service, the corresponding service call is made outside of any transaction. If a call is made to an external Web service in the context of an Oracle Tuxedo XA transaction, the Web service call will not propagate the transaction.

    This allows excluding certain Web service calls from a global transaction, and represents the default for most existing Web services calls (that do not support WS-TX).
