The following code fragment shows how to use the begin() and commit() methods of the Current class:

import com.tandem.tmf.Current;

Current tx = new Current();

// start a new transaction in the current thread
tx.begin();
// ... access Pathway server

// commit current transaction (JDBC and Pathway)
tx.commit(true);
