Is this a distributed transaction

[Rahul Mahindrakar]

Hi

I have a Messaging System like ActiveMQ which has its own Persistance for the messages. I am retreiving a message from this queue and writing in my Application servier database.

Thus there are two databases involved.

I am sure this is a distributed transaction.

But just checking if there are any issues surrounding it.

would say no because it is no XA, so you don't have a special persistence manager that have to deal with two synchronize to synchronize different database. You are just dealing to a single database (in the point of view of the Message consumer)

Like Luan, I would say that's probably not the case, unless either your or ActiveMQ's database is distributed (ie, held on more than one node).

And it might still not qualify as a distributed transaction if ActiveMQ provides you with a "face" that appears undistributed, even if their underlying db actually is.
