Abstract :
A mobile transaction management system enables users to receive transaction based services from both static and mobile hosts distributed in a large scale network. The difficulty lies in the heterogeneity of computer systems and in the communication control to guarantee concurrency and consistency of transaction operations. The World Wide Web offers a uniform vehicle to interface with users ubiquitously and an ideal architecture to implement mobile transaction systems. The paper reports a design using Java, JDBC and Web browser to implement a distributed database system, particularly a transaction management system which covers mobile hosts and static workstations/PCs in which data and servers are replicated
