public class ManagedConnection<C extends Connection> extends DelegatingConnection<C>
ManagedConnection is responsible for managing a database connection in a transactional environment (typically called "Container Managed"). A managed connection operates like any other connection when no global transaction (a.k.a. XA transaction or JTA Transaction) is in progress. When a global transaction is active a single physical connection to the database is used by all ManagedConnections accessed in the scope of the transaction. Connection sharing means that all data access during a transaction has a consistent view of the database. When the global transaction is committed or rolled back the enlisted connections are committed or rolled back. Typically, upon transaction completion, a connection returns to the auto commit setting in effect before being enlisted in the transaction, but some vendors do not properly implement this.

When enlisted in a transaction the setAutoCommit(), commit(), rollback(), and setReadOnly() methods throw a SQLException. This is necessary to assure that the transaction completes as a single unit.
