System and method for providing transaction monitor integration with service component architecture (SCA) runtime

A method to integrate a service component architecture (SCA) environment and a transaction environment, comprising:

• providing a plurality of SCA software components in an SCA environment;
• providing one or more transaction software components, executing on one or more micro-processors, that are configured to provide a plurality of transaction services in a transaction environment;
• providing an SCA runtime container provided as an add-on to the transaction environment, wherein the SCA runtime container externalizes configurations of the transaction environment and is configured to deploy one or more SCA software components therein, wherein services provided by the one or more SCA software components are mapped to and advertised by a transaction server in the transaction environment;
• and
• defining, in a schema file, the service advertised by the transaction server and publishing the services advertised by the transaction server to the SCA environment;
• wherein the transaction server uses a transaction interface to support communication with an SCA software component in the SCA environment;
• and
• wherein the SCA software component uses the schema file to invoke, through the transaction interface, the services advertised by the transaction server.

A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed cause a system to perform the steps comprising:

• providing a plurality of SCA software components in an SCA environment;
• providing one or more transaction software components, executing on one or more micro-processors, that are configured to provide a plurality of transaction services in a transaction environment;
• providing an SCA runtime container provided as an add-on to the transaction environment, wherein the SCA runtime container externalizes configurations of the transaction environment and is configured to deploy one or more SCA software components therein, wherein services provided by the one or more SCA software components are mapped to and advertised by a transaction server in the transaction environment;
• and
• defining, in a schema file, the service advertised by the transaction server and publishing the services advertised by the transaction server to the SCA environment;
• wherein the transaction server uses a transaction interface to support communication with an SCA software component in the SCA environment;
• and
• wherein the SCA software component uses the schema file to invoke, through the transaction interface, the services advertised by the transaction server.
