Think of the ActiveSpaces® Transactions server as a sophisticated Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM). Your application is compiled in the normal way on your workstation, and sent to the ActiveSpaces® Transactions server for execution.

Your IDE will be configured to run your ActiveSpaces® Transactions applications using deploy.jar, which transparently sends the compiled Java classes to the server for execution. deploy.jar also contains the ActiveSpaces® Transactions software public interfaces.
