/**
* This annotation is effectively a marker. Beans which access data should
* either be Transactional or not. To ensure that the developer has considered
* this when writing service beans, the public mehtods of the service must be
* annotated as either Transactional or NonTransactional. If the class is
* annotated, then it is assumed that all of the methods have that annotation
* and no method internal to the class should have a Transactional/NonTransactional
* annotation. Since Spring provides the Transactional annotation, it is only
* necessary to provide the NonTransactional annotation inside KFS.
*
* This annotation has no effect in the application at runtime. It is only used
* by unit tests which seek to enforce/confirm that the preceeding policy is
* being applied.
