| Re: [higgins-dev] IdAS update proposals |

Well, the way I wrote 3.a, it *is* optional (to the extent that it's supported), but it's not separated out into some other interface.
The problem I see with removing transactional semantics is that we're back to option 1 or 2. and we have all the cons listed there. People dislike Option 1. We cannot even write an LDAP provider with Option 2 because it doesn't allow us to perform multiple changes at once, thus will leave object in invalid states.
Can someone offer a proposal which allows IdAS to work with LDAP directories *and* satisfy everyone in terms of it's lack of transactional semantics?

Transactions add a lot of implementation complexity, and I thought our previous consensus was that we would not require this of all implementations. If we can somehow separate this into an optional capability, that would be good. (I don't know if Mike meant the optional part -- that's just my two cents.) ...Greg Michael McIntosh wrote: > On transactions ... > > As a general principal, I don't want to pay the overhead of certain > functionality in Higgins, but I want to make sure its possible/practical > to add it to derived products.
