creating a first coordinator for controlling
modification of said one or more resources;
importing said transaction request to a plurality
of subordinate transaction manager domains containing
resources, said domains being organized as a hierarchy
of superior and subordinate transaction manager
domains, by creating a subordinate coordinator for each
of said domains for controlling modification of said
one or more resources in said domain, and encapsulating
said global identifier, and a reference to a superior
domain to which the subordinate domain is
hierarchically related;
dynamically registering said subordinate
coordinators with the coordinator of said superior
domain only when the subordinate coordinator is
coordinating resources that are modifiable by a
transaction;
sending a [sic] transaction messages from superior
coordinators only to registered, directly subordinate
coordinators, thereby reducing message traffic.
