That is what I would like to do and I think should be the default behavior. After all if someone hits the close or stop button it's a good bet he wants the transaction halted. Unfortunately the boss does not agree.

As a temporary measure I have taken to creating "emergency" logs for each transaction this particuar customer attempts. I spent today wrestling with SSL cetificate and Oracle AS 10g. Hopefully tomorrow I can load up teh CGI code and start experimenting.
