Abstract
A system and method for using the TRAN procedural transaction coordinator, from the Encina product produced by Transarc Corporation, as the core of an OMG-compliant Object Transaction Service. The method allows the object-oriented Object Transaction Service to interoperate with Encina procedural applications. The interoperation involves coordinated processing of both object oriented transactional requests and Encina procedural transactional requests. Both object oriented and procedural requests can be part of a single atomic transaction without requiring gateways between the products. A system of implementation classes are used to transform object-oriented method invocations into the necessary procedural calls. The implementation classes also accept upcalls from the procedural TRAN and transform them into the necessary Object Transaction Service method invocations.
