JDBC Transction over EJB Transaction

JDBC transactions are managed by the database via the Database Connection.
EJB transactions are managed by EJB container and tries to combine several external transactions (eg JDBC) in a single EJB transaction context. This is a bit complicated and gets into things like 'two phase commits' and 'distributed transactions', but it is a thing the EJB container does for you.

Personally: If you are using EJBs then use EJB transactions, otherwise stick to JDBC transactions.
