Abstract

Methods systems and computer program products are provided which provide a transacted variable. The transacted variable is associated with a specific transaction such that actions on the underlying object of the transacted variable do not affect the contents of the transacted variable unless the actions are carried out in the context of the specific transaction associated with the transacted variable. Furthermore, the transacted variable allows for actions to be taken in the context of its specific associated transaction irrespective of an active transaction.
