Transaction Choices

Transaction management is a common topic in enterprise Java. However, the diversity of transaction choices is not immediately apparent.

The performance characteristics of each option will be contrasted with the corresponding transactional guarantees, highlighting the tradeoffs and their relevance in real-life scenarios.
