Technique for aggregate transaction scope across multiple independent web requests

A computer program device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform method steps for processing transactions in a network of communicating devices, said devices communicating in a non-session oriented client-server manner using a protocol with limited or no defined procedures to pass state information between client devices and server devices, said method comprises the steps of:

• a. communicating a plurality of independent requests for resources and actions requiring a transaction scope from a client device to a server;
• b. generating and maintaining transaction identification information on said server device;
• c. aggregating each of said independent requests in a transaction, said transaction characterized by said transaction identification information;
• and
• d. identifying at least one individual resource server to be co-dependent in accomplishing said transaction.
• e. wherein for each independent request, said aggregating step including:
• establishing execution process at said server device adapted to interface with an identified resource server, and associating each execution process with said transaction scope;
• and,
• f. implementing common commit coordinator for coordinating communication between each of said individual resource servers and said server device regarding commitment of said resources and actions, whereby said communication is accomplished independently of said established execution process.
