Have you heard about transactions?
mySQL is way cool but does not support them.
And if you need scalability and fault tolerance, distributed transactions may be a good idea. Then you will need some kind of transaction monitor. The Java Enterprise(tm) platform offers a model for such transactions called JTS (Java Transaction Service) and the application server from BullSoft supports them.
Best regards
