How to replace atomikos in distributed transaction in spring boot 3

Question

I try to follow migration guide when atomikos was removed in spring boot 3: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-3.0-Migration-Guide

but I can no see information about it. Other frameworks like narayana or bitronix is also not in spring boot dependencies.

Answer 1

Spring had direct support for distributed transaction tools like Atomikos in the past. However, starting from Spring 3, this support has been discontinued, as indicated in the Spring Boot 3.0 Migration Guide. You can use followıng dependency.

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.atomikos</groupId>
   <artifactId>transactions-spring-boot3-starter</artifactId>
   <version>6.0.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
   <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
   <artifactId>jta</artifactId>
   <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

You can look at here for full code and article.

Courtesy of the Spring Boot team, Atomikos now includes its own starter project for spring boot - supporting both JakartaEE and "good old" javax EE.

Just check the atomikos website for the latest.
