Once you commit/rollback, the transaction is gone. Any more work you do will
be out of transactional scope until you call begin() again. As far as how
long they may be associated, transactions have a timeout that is
user-specified (in one of the xml files, I forget if it is ejb-jar or jboss),
after which they will effectively auto-rollback. The timeout is implemented
via some classes in org/jboss/util.
