UserTransaction Support in Java SE
You do not necessarily need a Java EE application server to have JTA or UserTransaction functionality. Like many other parts of the Java EE API, JTA can be based on a Servlet container like Tomcat or Jetty. However, although the power and reliability of JTA can be made available in such environments, the transparency and ease of use of declarative transactions remains an asset of application servers. Alternatively, a non-Java EE application server can be built on top of a container like Spring, which can give a very similar paradigm for developing reliable Java applications, just with a different API.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
