[opencms-dev] Re: Transactional integrity - is there any?

[Christoph Schönfeld]

Hi all,

surprisingly to me, OpenCms does not seem to make use of database 
transactions. Last year, Jonathan Woods asked about transactions. 
Jonathan, did you get an answer to your questions?

Today, I found out that Alcacon GmbH provides a "Transaction Manager" 
component as part of its commercial "OCEE" add-on to OpenCms.

The mailing list is also very silent on this topic. Is the demand for 
transactional processing so low or did all of you just buy the OCEE?

It is a pity that such a critical feature is available only for money. I 
would expect from any software, be it commercial or open source, to make 
use of database transactions out of the box.

Does anybody know if the "Transaction Manager" is available separate 
from the OCEE pack? I do not need the whole pack, just the transactions.

Secondly, I would like to know what the Transaction Manager does exactly 
and how it works. Where does it secure processing? Which classes are 
does it replace?

Greetings from Hamburg,
    Christoph
