Narayana Transaction

Background

Apache ShardingSphere provides XA transactions that integrate with the Narayana implementation.

Procedure

  1. Configure Narayana
  2. Set the XA transaction type

Sample

Configure Narayana

Narayana configuration items can be customized by adding jbossts-properties.xml to the project’s classpath.

See Narayana’s Official Documentation for more details.

For the minimum configuration of jbossts-properties.xml, ShardingSphere requires that Narayana’s CoreEnvironmentBean.nodeIdentifier property be defined. If Narayana ’s object store is not shared between different Narayana instances, you can set this value to 1. A possible jbossts-properties.xml configuration is as follows,

  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  2. <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
  3. <properties>
  4.     <entry key="CoreEnvironmentBean.nodeIdentifier">1</entry>
  5. </properties>

In certain cases, you may not want to use XML files, then you need to manually set CoreEnvironmentBean.nodeIdentifier in the bootstrap class of your own Java project. You can refer to the following methods to call Narayana Java API.

  1. import com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.common.CoreEnvironmentBeanException;
  2. import com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.common.arjPropertyManager;
  4. public class ExampleUtils {
  5.     public void initNarayanaInstance() {
  6.         try {
  7.             arjPropertyManager.getCoreEnvironmentBean().setNodeIdentifier("1");
  8.         } catch (CoreEnvironmentBeanException e) {
  9.             throw new RuntimeException(e);
  10.         }
  11.     }
  12. }

Set the XA transaction type

Yaml:

  1. transaction:
  2.   defaultType: XA
  3.   providerType: Narayana
