New Features:

Support for JTA Transactions

This release introduces support for JTA coordinated transactions. This allows the ETL, JDBC, Transformer using JDBC Map Operations and JMS components to perform operations on multiple resources as a single transaction. This provides much better reliability and data integrity. The introduction of JTA support includes the ability to configure XADataSource connections in the Database Connection Editor that can then be used when configuring ETL or JDBC endpoints. A new JTA Transaction Handler component has also been added to control transactions.

ETL Editor Improvements

As with the M1 release, this release continues the cleanup and improvement of the ETL related editors. This includes the additional support for JTA as well as bug fixes and improved performance in the Data Map Tester. The Data Map Editor also now support database views in addtion to tables.

Online Documentation

The Chainbuilder ESB documention is now included within the Eclipse IDE. The docs can be accessed through the Help->Help Contents menu, or through the context-sensitive help within the indivual editors by clicking on the help button identified by a question mark.
