WS-Coordination
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WS-Coordination is a Web Services specification developed by BEA Systems, International Business Machines Corporation, and Microsoft Corporation. It describes an extensible framework for providing protocols that coordinate the actions of distributed applications. Such coordination protocols are used to support a number of applications, including those that need to reach consistent agreement on the outcome of distributed transactions.
The framework defined in this specification enables an application service to create a context needed to propagate an activity to other services and to register for coordination protocols. The framework enables existing transaction processing, workflow, and other systems for coordination to hide their proprietary protocols and to operate in a heterogeneous environment.
Additionally WS-Coordination describes a definition of the structure of context and the requirements for propagating context between cooperating services.
