 * Defines the contract for abstracting applications from the configured underlying means of transaction management.
 * Allows the application to define units of work, while maintaining abstraction from the underlying transaction
 * implementation (eg. JTA, JDBC).
 * <p/>
 * A transaction is associated with a {@link Session} and is usually initiated by a call to
 * {@link org.hibernate.Session#beginTransaction()}.  A single session might span multiple transactions since
 * the notion of a session (a conversation between the application and the datastore) is of coarser granularity than
 * the notion of a transaction.  However, it is intended that there be at most one uncommitted transaction associated
 * with a particular {@link Session} at any time.
 * <p/>
 * Implementers are not intended to be thread-safe.
