I have a webapp. It is made all object oriented. I'm trying to reuse components / objects as much as possible, and am running into a bit of a snag.

I've created an abstraction layer to Apache::DBI. it works like this:

WebPages check out the write handle as a 'SuperTransaction'
Objects check out the write handle as a 'Transaction' or 'NonTransaction'
If an object checks out the write handle and a 'super transaction' has begun, then we have a silent acceptance. If there is an error in the 'super transaction', we fail the attempt. The whole idea is to let the web pages group together object actions and rollback/commit if one breaks -- while letting the object actions themselves be encapsulated within transactions if necessary.

Herein lies the problem: my abstraction layer is a hack, because I couldn't find anything similar in CPAN. Now I've run into the situation where i need to nest an object transaction within an object transaction within a WebPage transaction ( I support WebObject fine. WebObjectObject is beyond what i can think of getting to work right now)

Can anyone make a suggestion on where to proceed?
