Subject: Re: interposition requirements

 
I agree with most of the mail and as long as we can agree that the subcordinator has the ability to either propagate its own coordinator, and thus hide the subsequent invocations, or the root then I think this gives the most flexibility.
As I said in one of the emails, if the application wants to allow this then there's nothing we should do to prevent it.
I agree with your comments on performance with regard to the intranet example but in a private trusted federation of services then registration back to the root from all participants in the chain is appropriate, and even registration to a separate transaction coordination service for the federation of services.
Agreed, but I think that this scenario is not the majority use-case. Even in trusted intranets I know of, there are various levels of trust, and registering all participants with the root coordinator won't be allowed.
It also means that performance is better and the latency that will be evident in "walking the tree" will avoid the possibility of failure scenarios corrupting the coordination of the termination.
Having interposition cannot currupt data integrity. It introduces another failure point, but typically the interposed coordinator is a (or hosts a) full participant in the termination protocol anyway, so its failure will affect the outcome one way or another.
 
Mark.
