 * transaction management. The implementing class may interface to an OMG OTS service,
 * a Java JTA service or a manufacturer's specific implementation of these services.
 * <p>
 * <b>Responsibilities</b>:
 * <ul>
 * <li> Define the API for UnitOfWork to add a listener to the externally controlled transaction.
