 * options and transaction demarcation.
 *
 * <p>Transaction options include whether optimistic concurrency control should be used for the
 * current transaction, whether instances may hold values in the cache outside transactions, and
 * whether values should be retained in the cache after transaction completion. These options are
 * valid for both managed and non-managed transactions.
 *
 * <p>Transaction initiation and completion methods have similar semantics to <code>
 * javax.transaction.UserTransaction</code> when used outside a managed environment. When used in a
 * managed environment, transaction initiation and completion methods may only be used with
 * bean-managed transaction semantics.
