Inherited transaction context for legacy software applications

摘要

Native applications inherit transaction contexts when invoked 201 by primary applications running in separate hosting environments by receiving, via an interface of a native application server in a first hosting environment, a unique transaction context identifier for an invocation of the native application at the native application server by a primary application at a primary application server which may use Java; receiving a SQL statement from the native application 203 at the interface; sending the statement and the identifier for execution at the primary application server 205; returning a result of the execution of the statement and the identifier to the native application server 206; and providing the result to the native application 208. Conversion of the SQL statement 204 and/or the results 207 between the formats of the hosting environments may be performed. This allows the native application, which may be a legacy COBOL application, to be invoked without requiring its modification or the creation of a separate database connection causing deadlocks.
