Strategy interface for creating JTA Transaction objects based on specified transactional characteristics. 
The default implementation, SimpleTransactionFactory, simply wraps a standard JTA TransactionManager. This strategy interface allows for more sophisticated implementations that adapt to vendor-specific JTA extensions.

Create an active Transaction object based on the given name and timeout.
Params:
name – the transaction name (may be null)
timeout – the transaction timeout (may be -1 for the default timeout)
Throws:
NotSupportedException – if the transaction manager does not support
a transaction of the specified type
SystemException – if the transaction manager failed to create the
transaction
Returns:
the active Transaction object (never null)/**

Determine whether the underlying transaction manager supports XA transactions
managed by a resource adapter (i.e. without explicit XA resource enlistment).
Typically false. Checked by AbstractMessageEndpointFactory in order to differentiate between invalid configuration and valid ResourceAdapter-managed transactions.
