We would like to improve this and are working on a new design proposed here. Let us know what you think!

Proposed new property lookup procedure when Atomikos starts:

1. default properties are looked up via a property file in the Atomikos jars (should always be found)
2. override with specific custom properties looked up in the jta.properties file in the classpath (like now)
3. if no jta.properties found: NO logging to System.err any more (so no need to disable that with system props either)
4. override with specific properties that are set programmatically on the UserTransactionService
5. resolve any placeholder properties (i.e., ant-style expansion of references to other props)
6. this yields the final properties to use for the init procedure

What do you think? Did we miss something important?

Thanks!

Instead, BRIC countries have the luxury of being able to pick a light-weight model such as JEE without application server to achieve unlimited scalability at virtually no cost, using commodity hardware and software.

With the recent economic crises in both the US and Europe, it is the BRIC countries that are helping out (instead of the other way around). The future will involve a lot more BRIC. And with that, a lot more Atomikos.

Western companies that want to be as agile, productive and competitive as the BRIC countries: what are you waiting for? Call us to get an introduction and migration path for your legacy.

We’ve been claiming this for years so it is about time to show it: how to replace Tuxedo applications with open source and free software. Coming soon to this site!
