With the rapid development of B2B E-commerce, a new web-based application pattern -web services arise. It provides a unified programming model so that the applications inside and outside the enterprises can communicate more easily. Web services build on existing and emerging standards such as HTTP, Extensible Markup Language(XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Universal Description, Discovery and Integration(UDDI).The transaction processing as one of the key techniques of web services, decides whether web services can be adopted broadly by the enterprises. The transaction in web services may go through a few hours or several enterprises and it has great difference with that in the traditional transaction processing systems. Some transaction specifications concerning web services, including web services atomic transaction and business activity specification, were released in recent years by IBM and Microsoft etc. But it is difficult to realize all the rules in these specifications. In this paper, the author analyzes these specifications in detail, designs prototype and frameworks for web services atomic transaction and business activity and provides concrete implementation. Finally, the application of the prototype and frameworks of transaction processing in web services to the postal business systems are introduced.
