Options for Apache Geronimo EJB Transactions: Part 3
Jonathan Sagorin wraps up his thorough coverage of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) transactions in this last installment of a three-part series. In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, you briefly looked at bean-managed and container-managed EJB transactions and how to implement them in the Apache Geronimo application server. In Part 3 discover the quirks and additional implementation and configuration choices related to both types of transactions.
Use Apache Geronimo to Build a Cluster
Explore Geronimo's support for clustering in this installment, Part 2, of this five-part series. Learn to build up the cluster nodes and test communication among other nodes and the cluster manager Web service we introduced in Part 1.
