021/**
022 * Interface that defines Spring-compliant transaction properties.
023 * Based on the propagation behavior definitions analogous to EJB CMT attributes.
024 *
025 * <p>Note that isolation level and timeout settings will not get applied unless
026 * an actual new transaction gets started. As only {@link #PROPAGATION_REQUIRED},
027 * {@link #PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW} and {@link #PROPAGATION_NESTED} can cause
028 * that, it usually doesn't make sense to specify those settings in other cases.
029 * Furthermore, be aware that not all transaction managers will support those
030 * advanced features and thus might throw corresponding exceptions when given
031 * non-default values.
032 *
033 * <p>The {@link #isReadOnly() read-only flag} applies to any transaction context,
034 * whether backed by an actual resource transaction or operating non-transactionally
035 * at the resource level. In the latter case, the flag will only apply to managed
036 * resources within the application, such as a Hibernate {@code Session}.
