Ex­cit­ing news for all those who have been wait­ing for this: we fi­nal­ly got our 3.6 re­lease of Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions ready, in­clud­ing JAX-WS and SOAP sup­port so that trans­ac­tions can span mul­ti­ple web ser­vices.

While we had sup­port for web ser­vices in the past, this new re­lease now in­cor­po­rates JAX-WS sup­port - mean­ing that you don't have to re­sort to the old­er JAX-RPC any more.

In ad­di­tion, we have made the web ser­vice sup­port in­de­pen­dent of the SOAP stack (any JAX-WS im­ple­men­ta­tion should do).

We have just re­leased 3.5.1 of Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions. This is an im­por­tant main­te­nance up­date that ba­si­cal­ly in­cludes the im­por­tant fix­es of Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials 3.5.3 (see pri­or an­nounce­ment).

This up­grade is rec­om­mend­ed for all sub­scribers.

We have a new re­lease out: 3.5.3 of Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials with ma­jor bug fix­es in the con­nec­tion pool­ing as the main fo­cus. This re­lease is rec­om­mend­ed for every­body.
