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:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
