In distributed software contexts, Web Services (WSs) that provide transactional properties are useful to guarantee reliable Transactional Composite WSs (TCWSs) execution and to ensure the whole system consistent state even in presence of failures. Fails during the execution of a TCWS can be repaired by forward or backward recovery processes, according to the component WSs transactional properties. In this paper, we present the architecture and an implementation of a framework, called FaCETa, for efficient, fault tolerant, and correct distributed execution of TCWSs. FaCETa relies on WSs replacement, on a compensation protocol, and on unrolling processes of Colored Petri-Nets to support fails. We implemented FaCETa in a Message Passing Interface (MPI) cluster of PCs in order to analyze and compare the behavior of the recovery techniques and the intrusiveness of the framework.
