Quick Start

You have a few major options. The first option is to install the Windsor integration:

install-package Castle.Facilities.AutoTx,

• -> Castle.Facilities.AutoTx
• -> Castle.Transactions.IO
• -> Castle.Transactions
• -> Castle.Core

another option is if you're using Autofac:

install-package Castle.Transactions.Autofac

• -> Autofac ~> 2.5
• -> Castle.Transactions.Autofac
• -> Castle.Transactions.IO

another option is that you only care about the transactions API as a stand-alone:

another option is that you care about the transactions API + transactional NTFS:

install-package Castle.Transactions.IO

Castle Transactions

The original project that manages transactions.

Main Features

• Regular Transactions (+System.Transactions interop) - allows you to create transactions with a nice API
• Dependent Transactions - allows you to fork dependent transactions automatically by declarative programming: [Transaction(Fork=true)]
• Transaction Logging - A trace listener in namespace Castle.Transactions.Logging, named TraceListener.
• Retry policies for transactions

Main Interfaces

• ITransactionManager:
  • default implementation is TransactionManager
  • keeps tabs on what transaction is currently active
  • coordinates parallel dependent transactions
  • keep the light weight transaction manager (LTM) happy on the CLR

Castle Transactions IO

A project for adding a transactional file system to the mix!

Main Features

• Provides an Castle.IO.IFileSystem implementation that adds transactionality to common operations.
