Comment on Why Wesabe Lost to Mint – A Second Opinion by Brad Matthews

Great 2nd perspective. I read Marc’s post when it came out and I really appreciated his candor…it’s rare to see such a post from a CEO whose co. hits the deadpool. For a startup founder, going through the process of pitching to angels, can you opine on what it is about Aaron that made him stand out? It would also be great to hear what it was about his pitch that was so compelling that you “pulled out my virtual checkbook immediately after the first meeting”? Thanks, Brad

Comment on What is One-and-a-half Phase Commit (1.5PC)? Or, how do I use JMS and JDBC without JTA? by rbpasker

Brad, you bring up a really good point: there really arent “1.5″ phases of commit. The phrase is meant to convey the idea that the algoritm permits a distributed transaction across to separate resources, but without two-phase (2PC) commit and the need for an external resource manager.

But Bob, why would you consider this 1.5PC? Isn’t it just 2 seperate full 2pc transactions, but to seperate resources. Eg, A full 2pc commit to the message queue, and then a full 2pc on the message queue removal. The fact that you have to perform a recovery on the queue (from the databases’ perspective), to determine if the transaction is complete, would be evidence of transaction recovery behavior.

Thanks Ashwin, but the redelivered flag is not guaranteed to be accurate. It also doesnt tell you if the message had already been applied to the database. You can see how the redelivered flag would be set in scenario #3 above.

Or use the JMSRedelivered flag to check if the application has seen the message before.
