 * Defines Spring-compliant transaction properties.

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