Description
Increasingly sophisticated applications are being implemented using the javascript language. Initially popular for browser based environments, the language is also gaining traction on the server side (NodeJS, etc). A single threaded model promotes use of callbacks and asynchronous I/O operations. Ongoing standardization work is starting to provide APIs for enterprise functionality (commonJS, IndexedDB, etc). The Rhino javascript engine allows javascript to run on any JVM. These factors lead to situations where distributed business applications may be written wholly or partially in javascript and may need to interact with existing business logic or services implemented in Java. In this project you will consider how to provide transaction management capabilities to such applications.
This project will require a good knowledge of javascript programming, ideally encompassing a server side javascript environment. Candidates should also possess some knowledge of Java and transaction concepts. The work will be open source.
