WS-ACID

[Mark Little <mark.little@arjuna.com>]

Ignoring the differences in WS-Context and WS-CAF that may impact 
WS-ACID, does anyone have any issues with the protocol or model as it 
currently stands?

I can summarise the differences between it and traditional ACID 
transactions if needed. If you're looking for major differences between 
WS-ACID and WS-AtomicTransaction then they probably come down to: 
WS-ACID uses a synchronization protocol, whereas WS-AT uses volatile 2PC 
for "volatile" pre/post commit processing, and WS-AT doesn't support 
heuristic outcomes (there's an "protocol violation" error message which 
isn't quite useful enough).

Mark.
