TM is mainly there for database adapters to coordinate with an RDBMS transaction system. It assumes that most of the work in commiting or rolling back changes is done by the external database.

If you want to implement transactional behavior yourself, it would be better to implement the transaction management api's more directly. We have a model that described these APIs. We'll publish it and let you know where it is.

I'll clean the model up a bit and have it out sometime today Pavlos. -Michel
