Abstract

Although many extended transaction models have been proposed [Elm93], few practical implementations exist and even fewer can support more than one model. We present the Reflective Transaction Framework, as a practical andmodular method to implement extended transaction models. We achieve modularity by applying the Open Implementation approach [Kic92](also known as meta-object protocol [KdRB91]) to the design of the reflective transaction framework. We achieve practicality by implementing on top of a commercial transactionprocessing monitor. For our implementation of the reflective transaction framework, we introduce transaction adapters, add-on modules built on top of existing commercial TP components, such as Encina, that extend their functionality tosupport extended transaction features and semantics. Since our framework design is based on the transaction processing monitor architecture [GR93], it is widely applicable to many modern TP monitors. The reflective transaction framework enables us to implement a wide range of independently proposed extended transaction models, which we demonstrate by implementing the split/join model [PKH88] and cooperative transactiongroups [MP92, RC92].
