Systems and methods for application view transactions

A method for supporting a local transaction with an application view, comprising:

• opening a connection for a local transaction by switching an application view from a stateless session bean to a stateful session bean, the stateful session bean capable of holding the connection open across multiple requests in the local transaction;
• and
• allowing a user to manage the local transaction in the application view through a local transaction interface.

A system for supporting a local transaction with an application view, comprising:

• means for opening a connection for a local transaction by switching an application view from a stateless session bean to a stateful session bean, the stateful session bean capable of holding the connection open across multiple requests in the local transaction;
• and
• means for allowing a user to manage the local transaction in the application view through a local transaction interface.

A computer-readable medium, comprising:

• means for opening a connection for a local transaction by switching an application view from a stateless session bean to a stateful session bean, the stateful session bean capable of holding the connection open across multiple requests in the local transaction;
• and
• means for allowing a user to manage the local transaction in the application view through a local transaction interface.

A computer program product for execution by a server computer for supporting a local transaction with an application view, comprising:

• computer code for opening a connection for a local transaction by switching an application view from a stateless session bean to a stateful session bean, the stateful session bean capable of holding the connection open across multiple requests in the local transaction;
• and
• computer code for allowing a user to manage the local transaction in the application view through a local transaction interface.

A computer data signal embodied in a transmission medium, comprising:

• a code segment including instructions to open a connection for a local transaction by switching an application view from a stateless session bean to a stateful session bean, the stateful session bean capable of holding the connection open across multiple requests in the local transaction;
• and
• a code segment including instructions to allow a user to manage the local transaction in the application view through a local transaction interface.
