/**
 * An annotation that disables the default transaction management behavior for JUnit test methods.
 * 
 * {@link ActiveObjectsJUnitRunner} normally surrounds each test method execution in a transaction,
 * which is then rolled back so that the next test starts with a clean database state.  This will
 * not work if the test does its own transaction management and commits changes.  In that case,
 * mark the test method with @NonTransactional; this makes the test runner not create a transaction,
 * but instead completely drop and recreate the database after executing the test.
