* Flush mode setting.
*
* When queries are executed within a transaction, if
* FlushModeType.AUTO
is set on the {@link
* javax.persistence.Query Query} or {@link javax.persistence.TypedQuery
* TypedQuery} object, or if the flush mode setting for the
* persistence context is AUTO
(the default) and a flush
* mode setting has not been specified for the Query
or
* TypedQuery
object, the persistence provider is
* responsible for ensuring that all updates to the state of all
* entities in the persistence context which could potentially affect
* the result of the query are visible to the processing of the
* query. The persistence provider implementation may achieve this by
* flushing those entities to the database or by some other means.
*
If FlushModeType.COMMIT
is set, the effect of
* updates made to entities in the persistence context upon queries is
* unspecified.
*
*
If there is no transaction active, the persistence provider
* must not flush to the database.
