Hi Anto

I know customers which use Web Services for about 9 years. They never had the 
requirement for WS-Transaction support because you could sort this out by the 
design of the service (WSDL) or they came to the conclusion that transaction 
support would have been a nice feature but not really required.

Instead of calling for instance two operations of a service(s) (transaction 
context) you design a less fine grained service which does the work in one 
operation you wanted to seperate in two seperate operations. The webservice is 
deployed in a application runtime which supports local transactions like 
J2EE/EJB. For instance, you define the stateless session bean to create a new 
transaction for each incoming request.

The above approach fits well as long as you don't combine (and tightly couple) 
different business components. In such a case, I would have some objections 
from an enterprise architecture point of view.

Thanks
Oliver

Just curious, why no paying customers are not demanding it? Is it that there
are other ways to implement transactions other than WS-* specs? Or is it not
a practical solution for transaction management?
