Transaction Management
In the case of context-free access, a transaction can span calls to multiple services, in
one or more server classes. Multiple transactions can occur, one after another, within
the same session.
In the case of context-sensitive access, the number of transactions that can occur
within a session depends on the transaction model supported by the target server
classes.
A client requests a transaction by including a specific element in the SOAP request
header. Requests to commit or abort transactions are also expressed in header
elements.
Figure 1-5 on page 1-9 represents transaction management by a SOAP server for
TS/MP services. For more detailed information, see Transaction Management on
page 4-15.
