| 1. A method comprising:
receiving an allocation request for a first resource as part of a two-phase commit protocol;
determining whether the first resource desires to delegate commit voting to an enlisted resource;
if the first resource desires to delegate commit voting to the enlisted resource, converting the two-phase commit protocol
to a one-phase commit protocol, wherein the converting further comprises
registering the first resource as a non-voting participant, wherein the first resource accesses a secondary resource, and
wherein the enlisted resource and the secondary resource share a physical connection,
prohibiting the first resource from voting in an enclosing transactional context, and
performing commit processing for the enlisted resource; and
if the first resource does not desire to delegate commit voting to the enlisted resource, enlisting the first resource as
a voting participant in the enclosing transactional context.
