Claim:
A transaction management system comprising: a server application that hosts an electronic commerce transaction comprising two or more sessions; a network; a client application connected in a communicating relationship with the server application over the network, and the client application participating in the transaction hosted by the server application; and a filter application operating between the server application and the client application that initiates capture of data associated with the transaction upon the detection of a first event, wherein the captured data includes data captured in two or more sessions, preprocessed data passing between the client application, the server application and one or more additional server applications and any preprocessed data passing between the server application, the client application and the one or more additional server applications; wherein the filter application stops the capture of the data communicated between the client application, the server application and the one or more additional server applications upon the occurrence of a second event; wherein the filter application processes the captured data to associate the data captured during each of the two or more sessions with the electronic transaction; and a repository for storing the captured transaction.
