To kick off the new year we have re­leased Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials 3.6.0 with OSGi sup­port.

We've had many peo­ple par­tic­i­pate in this through our fo­rums and through email, and fi­nal­ly it's ready to go out in pub­lic: you can now load our jars as bun­dles in OSGi (this has been test­ed with Apache Felix and Eclipse Equinox).

To down­load, pro­ceed via our prod­uct page.

Hap­py bundling!

Those of you who have been watch­ing our Road­Map know that SCA is one of the top­ics on our list of things to watch.

Well, it turns out that the team of Fabric3 has been in­te­grat­ing Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials into the Fabric3 SCA run­time. Nice work!

Check out this cool video to see how OEM cus­tomers are us­ing Atomikos to build mis­sion-crit­i­cal ap­pli­ca­tions with out-of-the-box re­li­a­bil­i­ty out­side the ap­pli­ca­tion serv­er...

Also, check out the Sky­way toolset if you have a chance - it is pret­ty awe­some...

UPDATE 30/11/2017: the video seems to be gone by now.
