/**
 * This is the central interface in Spring's imperative transaction infrastructure.
 * Applications can use this directly, but it is not primarily meant as an API:
 * Typically, applications will work with either TransactionTemplate or
 * declarative transaction demarcation through AOP.
 *
 * <p>For implementors, it is recommended to derive from the provided
 * {@link org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager}
 * class, which pre-implements the defined propagation behavior and takes care
 * of transaction synchronization handling. Subclasses have to implement
 * template methods for specific states of the underlying transaction,
 * for example: begin, suspend, resume, commit.
 *
 * <p>A classic implementation of this strategy interface is
 * {@link org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager}. However,
 * in common single-resource scenarios, Spring's specific transaction managers
 * for e.g. JDBC, JPA, JMS are preferred choices.
