This paper discusses reflective transaction processing, a new research area that the author believes has its potential. The paper starts with a motivating example, i.e., using reflection as a mechanism to address the heterogeneity issues in distributed transaction processing. Other usages of reflection in transaction processing will also be briefly mentioned. The paper then explains what reflection is and discusses the related issues on reflective transaction processing. As the discussion goes on, it will become clear that reflective transaction processing itself can be more general and difficult than the heterogeneity issues. However, reflective transaction management, a sub-area of reflective transaction processing, can be more realistic as a shorter-term research target.
