TransactionManager

Synopsis

The TransactionManager interface is used by a transactional application server, such as an EJB server, to create and manage transactions on behalf of client applications. The application server can use the TransactionManager interface to create new transactions for the current thread, suspend and resume the current transaction, and commit or rollback the transaction. The setTransactionTimeout() method is used to set the timeout (in seconds) for any subsequent transactions started through the TransactionManager.
