Hello, Does web service api now support transactions ? because i have an application with its own database and i need to access alfresco repository in a classic transactional way . Thank you
I think the simplest answer is no alfresco does not support distributed transactions for any of its remote interfaces.
If you are running Alfresco on a J2EE AS you should be able to re-plumb of the spring configuration to use XA drivers and JTA but you would be way out on the bleeding edge. And then SOAP and transactions are another can of worms. I'm sure its possible but suspect it won't be easy or quick.
Hello, Thank you for the answers. It seems that rmi jcr has the notion of transaction. Even if the jcr transaction may not be pluggable into a database one i should be able to commit or roll back a transaction manually by catching exceptions. What do you think ?
You are still, I think, heading for some hard times. Do you really need to add the complexity of distributed transactions? Most systems can manage just fine without them.
