public interface Bookmark
extends Serializable
Causal chaining is carried out by passing bookmarks between transactions.
When starting a session with initial bookmarks, the first transaction will be ensured to run at least after
the database is as up-to-date as the latest transaction referenced by the supplied bookmarks.
Within a session, bookmark propagation is carried out automatically.
Thus all transactions in a session including explicit and implicit transactions are ensured to be carried out one after another.
To opt out of this mechanism for unrelated units of work, applications can use multiple sessions.
