And it could be done quite easily by disassociating the transaction from the thread at the end of an HTTP request, storing the transaction id in the HttpSession and restoring the association when a new request for this session comes in. But then you would get long-running transactions (at least when the http requests comes from a human user) where database connections are hold open and objects are locked, leading to scalability problems. For web services the transactions might be necessary.
