A method for handling asynchronous database transactions in a web based environment is disclosed. The method comprise providing a first ID from a device via a dedicated persistent connection and generating a second ID in an application server upon receipt of the first ID. The method also include utilizing the first ID and second ID to obtain the appropriate data from a database system and to send the appropriate data to the device. A method in accordance with the present invention uses a database resource adapter, which runs inside an application server, to generate a socket ID internally for every input transaction running with the dedicated persistent socket connection and also saves the customer-specified client ID for database queue creation and legacy application. This operation is transparent to the customers' client application.
