  PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW : uses a completely independent transaction for
 each affected transaction scope. In that case, the underlying physical 
transactions are different and hence can commit or roll back independently, 
with an outer transaction not affected by an inner transaction's rollback status.

 ROPAGATION_NESTED : uses a single physical transaction with multiple 
savepoints that it can roll back to. Such partial rollbacks allow an
 inner transaction scope to trigger a rollback for its scope, with the outer 
transaction being able to continue the physical transaction despite some operations 
having been rolled back. This setting is typically mapped onto JDBC savepoints, so will 
only work with JDBC resource transactions.
