What is JTS?
JTS (Java Transaction Service) is the architectural specification for a Java Transaction manager as part of the J2EE platform. It is not a new specification, but is just a Java mapping of the already existing OTS from the OMG ( Object management Group ) consortium. A transaction service that implements JTS such as the Partition Transaction Service in Borland Enterprise Server (BES), provides a subset of functionality present in VisiTransact (the Partition Transaction Service does not support XA recovery).
