If you have multiple operations of the same type, it can use transactions 
(e.g. multiple add members), but if they are of different types it cant work 
unless you use the Java API

Thanks

Subject: [grouper-dev] Transaction support for the Grouper SOAP web service

Hi

I am fairly new to Grouper. I work for the Oxford University Software
Solutions Group.
We are using Microsoft Biztalk as a middleware product to provide a data
service bus for University applications.
My current project uses the Grouper SOAP Web Service interface to create and
manage Group Store groups and Members.

My question is, does the Grouper SOAP web service support transactions, e.g.
WS-Transaction?
A unit of work for the BizTalk application invloves a number of requests to
the Grouper web service. Should one of these requests fail I would like to
roll back that partially completed unit of work. Normally I would wrap the
unit of work within a transaction and roll the transaction back. However I
cannot find information within the Grouper documentation about transaction
support.

I would appreciate some guidence here as this is key to our design.

Many thanks,

Geoff
