022 * Callback interface for transactional code. Used with {@link TransactionTemplate}'s
023 * {@code execute} method, often as anonymous class within a method implementation.
024 *
025 * <p>Typically used to assemble various calls to transaction-unaware data access
026 * services into a higher-level service method with transaction demarcation. As an
027 * alternative, consider the use of declarative transaction demarcation (e.g. through
028 * Spring's {@link org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional} annotation).
