The point of suspending a transaction is to change the current transaction for a thread to a new one. This would NOT line up with the semantics of nested transactions because the new and suspended transactions are completely independent of each other. There is no connection-level API to support suspending transactions so this has to be done by using a different connection. If you are using JTA with Spring, this is done by the JTA transaction manager. If you are using DataSourceTransactionManager, you can look in the code and see that it will be saving off the current connection as a "suspended resource" and grabbing a new connection from the data source for the new transaction.
