Java transaction service

JTS ( Java Transaction Service) is a term used in the development of Java software. When exchanging data between several components of one or several applications, it is often important to process these communications and related operations in applications as part of a general transaction . JTS describes a service (in terms of software) that controls transactions. Communication between applications implemented in Java and JTS is via a protocol called the Java Transaction API (JTA).

JST - is a specification for building a transaction manager that maps to the Object Management Group (OMG) Service Object Transaction (OTS) used in the Common Request Object Broker Architecture (CORBA) architecture. It uses the common Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) to distribute transactions between multiple JTS transaction managers.

The Java EE -based web application server is JTS- based.
