Description

Interface Summary

Status	The Status interface defines static variables used for transaction status codes.
Synchronization	The transaction manager supports a synchronization mechanism that allows the interested party to be notified before and after the transaction completes.
Transaction	The Transaction interface allows operations to be performed against the transaction in the target Transaction object.
TransactionManager	The TransactionManager interface defines the methods that allow an application server to manage transaction boundaries.
TransactionSynchronizationRegistry	This interface is intended for use by system level application server components such as persistence managers, resource adapters, as well as EJB and Web application components.
UserTransaction	The UserTransaction interface defines the methods that allow an application to explicitly manage transaction boundaries.

Exception Summary

HeuristicCommitException	This exception is thrown by the rollback operation on a resource to report that a heuristic decision was made and that all relevant updates have been committed.
HeuristicMixedException	This exception is thrown to report that a heuristic decision was made and that some relevant updates have been committed and others have been rolled back.
HeuristicRollbackException	This exception is thrown by the commit operation to report that a heuristic decision was made and that all relevant updates have been rolled back.
InvalidTransactionException	This exception indicates that the request carried an invalid transaction context.
NotSupportedException	NotSupportedException exception indicates that the request cannot be executed because the operation is not a supported feature.
RollbackException	RollbackException exception is thrown when the transaction has been marked for rollback only or the transaction has been rolled back instead of committed.
SystemException	The SystemException is thrown by the transaction manager to indicate that it has encountered an unexpected error condition that prevents future transaction services from proceeding.
TransactionRequiredException	This exception indicates that a request carried a null transaction context, but the target object requires an active transaction.
TransactionRolledbackException	This exception indicates that the transaction associated with processing of the request has been rolled back, or it has been marked to roll back.
