You misunderstand the purpose of ACID, I think.

What happens if the database update succeeds, but somewhere between
the update and the kill/remake of the bean, the process fails?

Now, the data is out of sync.

Unless you can make the kill/remake of the bean as part of the
database transaction (if the kill/remake of the bean doesn't
happen, the whole operation gets rolled back) ... then it doesn't
pass the ACID test.

Or, am _I_ confused?
