 * A transaction is associated with a <tt>Session</tt> and is

 * A single session might span multiple transactions since
 * the notion of a session (a conversation between the application
 * and the datastore) is of coarser granularity than the notion of
 * a transaction. However, it is intended that there be at most one
 * uncommitted <tt>Transaction</tt> associated with a particular
 * <tt>Session</tt> at any time.<br>

 * Implementors are not intended to be threadsafe.
