 This project provides an Ebean `ExternalTransactionManager` specifically
 to integrate with Springs JDBC Transaction manager.
 
+## To use
+
+```java
+ServerConfig serverConfig = new ServerConfig();
+
+// set SpringJdbcTransactionManager ... as the external transaction manager
+serverConfig.setExternalTransactionManager(new SpringJdbcTransactionManager());
+
+...
+EbeanServer server = EbeanServerFactory.create(serverConfig);
+
+```
