26 * This annotation is effectively a marker. Beans which access data should
27 * either be Transactional or not. To ensure that the developer has considered
28 * this when writing service beans, the public mehtods of the service must be
29 * annotated as either Transactional or NonTransactional. If the class is
30 * annotated, then it is assumed that all of the methods have that annotation
31 * and no method internal to the class should have a Transactional/NonTransactional
32 * annotation. Since Spring provides the Transactional annotation, it is only
33 * necessary to provide the NonTransactional annotation inside OLE.
34 *
35 * This annotation has no effect in the application at runtime. It is only used
36 * by unit tests which seek to enforce/confirm that the preceeding policy is
37 * being applied.
