That's the point. The WebSphere container in itself doesn't provide
that isolation. It doesn't have to. It simply honours the session bean's
transaction demarcation (TX_BEAN_MANAGED or TX_REQUIRED) and transaction
isolation (TRNSACTION_SERIALIZABLE) requirements by delegating them to
the RDBMS/OODBMS.
