## Interface TransactionFactory

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    JtaTransactionManager, SimpleTransactionFactory, WebLogicJtaTransactionManager, WebSphereUowTransactionManager

      public interface TransactionFactory

  Strategy interface for creating JTA `Transaction` objects based on specified transactional characteristics.

  The default implementation, `SimpleTransactionFactory`, simply wraps a standard JTA `TransactionManager`. This strategy interface allows for more sophisticated implementations that adapt to vendor-specific JTA extensions.

    - #### createTransaction

          Transaction createTransaction(String name,
                                        int timeout)
                                 throws NotSupportedException,
                                        SystemException

      Create an active Transaction object based on the given name and timeout.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the transaction name (may be `null`)
        `timeout` - the transaction timeout (may be -1 for the default timeout)
      Returns:
        the active Transaction object (never `null`)
      Throws:
        `NotSupportedException` - if the transaction manager does not support a transaction of the specified type
        `SystemException` - if the transaction manager failed to create the transaction

    - #### supportsResourceAdapterManagedTransactions

          boolean supportsResourceAdapterManagedTransactions()

      Determine whether the underlying transaction manager supports XA transactions managed by a resource adapter (i.e. without explicit XA resource enlistment).

      Typically `false`. Checked by `AbstractMessageEndpointFactory` in order to differentiate between invalid configuration and valid ResourceAdapter-managed transactions.
