Re: JAVA_XA

Sorry, no experience with that particular implementation but any XA introduces significant overhead and rather non-feasible on high throughput environments according to my experience so I'll drag you to somewhat different direction if I may...
In Oracle only environments you might be much better off with database links. You could also use DB links n heterogeneous environments employing Oracle gateways but I don't have too much good experience with those and can't judge if they are better than XA transactions. 

What is the purpose of distributed processing? What are the targets?

Hi All,
I'm entering the world of distributed transactions for the first time. We are using the Websphere as the transaction manager. The developers have asked to have the JVM and the JAVA_XA package. I'm struggling to find any decent docs on JAVA_XA. In particular do we really need this for Oracle to participate in (rather than manage) an XA transaction?
Any pointers to docs about this configuration (Oracle/Websphere/XA) for a DBA would be very welcome. 

Many thanks again!
Charlotte
