Abstract

A method and system for processing multiple-request transactions in a stateless environment is provided. A cartridge execution engine intercepts browser messages directed to a cartridge. The cartridge execution engine determines whether the browser messages are associated with transactions. If it is determined that browser messages are associated with transactions, then the cartridge execution engine sends transaction control messages to a transaction manager. In addition, the cartridge execution engine sends operation messages to the cartridge. The cartridge then performs the operations specified in the operation messages. In response to the transaction control messages from the cartridge execution engine, the transaction manager causes the multiple-request transactions to be either committed or rolled back as an atomic unit of work.
