[Springframework-developer] WebLogic "transaction names"

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

There's an interesting suggestion (by Bart Strubbe) regarding WebLogic's
transaction monitor:

http://forum.springframework.org/viewtopic.php?t=3981

Essentially, WebLogic's transaction monitor seems to use "transaction names"
for monitoring and logging purposes. WebLogic's EJB container automatically
leverages this facility. The API to set such a transaction name is
WebLogic-specific; we could add support for it to our
WebLogicJtaTransactionManager.

The main problem is where to get the transaction name from. I'm inclined to
extend our TransactionDefinition with a "getName" or "getDescription"
method, allowing to pass such a name in. TransactionInterceptor could
automatically specify class name plus method name there.

Thoughts?
