| * Provides a context for transactional operations. |

| * A transaction context provides a boundary within which transactions |
| * are run. It also is a place where all modifications made within a transaction |
| * are cached until the point when the transaction commits or aborts. It thus ensures |
| * isolation of work happening with in the transaction boundary. |
| * <p> |
| * A transaction context is a vehicle for grouping operations into a unit with the |
| * properties of atomicity, isolation, and durability. Transactions also provide the |
| * ability to maintain an application's invariants or integrity constraints, |
| * supporting the property of consistency. Together these properties are known as ACID. |
