Interface XAConnection

All Superinterfaces:
PooledConnection

public interface XAConnection
extends PooledConnection

An object that provides support for distributed transactions. An XAConnection object may be enlisted in a distributed transaction by means of an XAResource object. A transaction manager, usually part of a middle tier server, manages an XAConnection object through the XAResource object.

An application programmer does not use this interface directly; rather, it is used by a transaction manager working in the middle tier server.
