Transactions are your friend
March 4th, 2006
Mark Little posted to his blog about why transactions are your friend. In addition there is a discussion over on rebelutionary about how many people really need these advanced J2EE features.
I’m not really sure it’s appropriate to call these features advanced if they address basic things like transaction coordination, concurrency, and consistency. While many people don’t use them I really hope they know when to use them in order to protect their data.
At the moment I don’t have the feeling a majority of Java developers knows how transactions work and how or when to use them in their applications.
