This is a main­te­nance re­lease that im­proves the JAX-WS han­dler con­fig­u­ra­tion of the JAX-WS demo.

Down­load is rec­om­mend­ed if you are in­ter­est­ed in web ser­vice trans­ac­tions...

As part of our Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions 3.6.1 re­lease we have pro­duced Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials 3.5.4 - a bug fix re­lease for Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials.

The most im­por­tant fix­es in this re­lease con­cern state­ment in­val­i­da­tion af­ter trans­ac­tion time­out and JMS/JNDI ini­tial­iza­tion im­prove­ments - both sug­gest­ed by the com­mu­ni­ty (for which thanks!)...

We now have our 3.6.1 re­lease of Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions ready and on­line. This re­lease in­cludes a new and work­ing JAX-WS demo per­form­ing a dis­trib­uted trans­ac­tion (where the com­mit scope reach­es across web ser­vice calls) as well as sev­er­al bug fix­es. This re­lease also in­cludes a new ver­sion of the core: Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials 3.5.4

Feel free to check it out, all feed­back is wel­come!

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).
