Transactions in Web Components

You can demarcate a transaction in a web component by using either the java.sql.Connection or javax.transaction.UserTransaction interface. These are the same interfaces that a session bean with bean-managed transactions can use. Transactions demarcated with the UserTransaction interface are discussed in the section JTA Transactions.
