Question about transactions

I'm using Hibernate 2.1.3.
I have a peace of code:

Code:

some method() {

( ... )
transaction = session.beginTransaction();
         
// Some Hibernate inserts

// Some bulk updates with plain JDBC   
      
transaction.commit();
( ... )

}

As I've seen in the docs, when using direct JDBC transactions, I have to explicitly commit or rollback the transaction. Am I right?

My question: does the JDBC transaction and the Hibernate transaction work as a single transaction or do I have two separate transactions?
By commiting the JDBC transaction, is the Hibernate transaction aware of this?

Really need to clarify this issue.

Thanks in advance.

The Hibernate Transaction is a wrapper API, it wraps the JDBC transaction (or whatever underlying transaction strategy you might have). This is really easy to understand. Look at the source coude of JDBCTransactionFactory if you need all the details.
