Abstract
A key step towards consistent services coordination to provide non functional properties. In this sense, transactional properties are particularly relevant because of the business nature of current applications. While services composition has been successfully addressed, transactional properties have been main- ly provided by ad-hoc and limited solutions at systems’ back end. This paper proposes a flexible transactional behavior model for services coordination. We assume that given a flow describing the application logic of a service based application, it is possible to associate to it a personalized transactional behavior in an orthogonal way. This behavior is defined by specifying contracts and associating a well defined behavior to the activities participating in the coordination. Such contracts ensure transactional properties at execution time in the presence of exceptions.
