/** <p>The XAResource interface is a Java mapping of the industry standard
  * XA interface based on the X/Open CAE Specification (Distributed
  * Transaction Processing: The XA Specification).
  *
  * <p>The XA interface defines the contract between a Resource Manager
  * and a Transaction Manager in a distributed transaction processing
  * (DTP) environment. A JDBC driver or a JMS provider implements
  * this interface to support the association between a global transaction
  * and a database or message service connection.
  *
  * <p>The XAResource interface can be supported by any transactional
  * resource that is intended to be used by application programs in an
  * environment where transactions are controlled by an external
  * transaction manager. An example of such a resource is a database
  * management system. An application may access data through multiple
  * database connections. Each database connection is enlisted with
  * the transaction manager as a transactional resource. The transaction
  * manager obtains an XAResource for each connection participating
  * in a global transaction. The transaction manager uses the
  * <code>start</code> method
  * to associate the global transaction with the resource, and it uses the
  * <code>end</code> method to disassociate the transaction from
  * the resource. The resource
  * manager is responsible for associating the global transaction to all
  * work performed on its data between the start and end method invocations.
  *
  * <p>At transaction commit time, the resource managers are informed by
  * the transaction manager to prepare, commit, or rollback a transaction
  * according to the two-phase commit protocol.</p>
  *
