1.测试类

public class TestMySQL {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String path = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader ().getResource("").toString();
		System.out.println("==========currentThread:"+path);
		TestMySQL tm = new TestMySQL();
		System.out.println("==========File:"+tm.getClass().getResource("").getFile());
		System.out.println("==========Path:"+tm.getClass().getResource("").getPath());
		String jdbcPath = tm.getClass().getResource("").getPath();
		try {
			File pFile = new File(jdbcPath+"jdbc.properties");  
	        FileInputStream   pInStream=null;  
	        try {  
	            pInStream = new FileInputStream(pFile );  
	        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {  
	            e.printStackTrace();   
	        }  
	        Properties pInfo = new Properties();  
	        try {  
	        	pInfo.load(pInStream );    
	        } catch (IOException e) {  
	            e.printStackTrace();   
	        }  
	        String drive = pInfo.getProperty("driver");
	        String url = pInfo.getProperty("url");
	        String user = pInfo.getProperty("user");
	        String pwd = pInfo.getProperty("pwd");
			Class.forName(drive);
			Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, pwd);
			DatabaseMetaData metaData = conn.getMetaData();
			// 是否支持的事务
			boolean isSupport = metaData.supportsTransactions();
			System.out.println("======isSupportsTransactions:"+isSupport);
			// 是否支持的Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE等级事务
			boolean isSupportLevel = metaData
					.supportsTransactionIsolationLevel(Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE);
			System.out.println("======isSupportLevel:"+isSupportLevel);
			// 获取默认事务
			int defaultIsolation = metaData.getDefaultTransactionIsolation();
			System.out.println("======DefaultTransactionIsolation:"+defaultIsolation);
			if (conn != null) {
				try {
					conn.close();
				} catch (SQLException e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();

		}

	}
}

2.控制台输出如下：
==========currentThread:file:/F:/Myeclipse/test/WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes/
==========File:/F:/Myeclipse/test/WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes/com/test/controller/test/
==========Path:/F:/Myeclipse/test/WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes/com/test/controller/test/
======isSupportsTransactions:true
======isSupportLevel:true
======DefaultTransactionIsolation:2
3.从上可以看出Mysql默认支持的事物为：
/**
     * A constant indicating that
     * dirty reads are prevented; non-repeatable reads and phantom
     * reads can occur.  This level only prohibits a transaction
     * from reading a row with uncommitted changes in it.
     */
    int TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED   = 2;
可以避免脏数据的发生，但不重读，幻读可能发生。
4.从Connection的源码中，我们可以看到事务等级的定义如下：

 /** 不支持事务
     * A constant indicating that transactions are not supported. 
     */
    int TRANSACTION_NONE	     = 0;

    /**支持事务，脏数据，不重读，幻读可能发生。
     * A constant indicating that
     * dirty reads, non-repeatable reads and phantom reads can occur.
     * This level allows a row changed by one transaction to be read
     * by another transaction before any changes in that row have been
     * committed (a "dirty read").  If any of the changes are rolled back, 
     * the second transaction will have retrieved an invalid row.
     */
    int TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED = 1;

    /**支持事务，不重读，幻读可能发生。
     * A constant indicating that
     * dirty reads are prevented; non-repeatable reads and phantom
     * reads can occur.  This level only prohibits a transaction
     * from reading a row with uncommitted changes in it.
     */
    int TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED   = 2;

    /**支持事务，幻读可能发生。
     * A constant indicating that
     * dirty reads and non-repeatable reads are prevented; phantom
     * reads can occur.  This level prohibits a transaction from
     * reading a row with uncommitted changes in it, and it also
     * prohibits the situation where one transaction reads a row,
     * a second transaction alters the row, and the first transaction
     * rereads the row, getting different values the second time
     * (a "non-repeatable read").
     */
    int TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ  = 4;

    /**支持事务，脏数据，不重读，幻读不可能发生。
     * A constant indicating that
     * dirty reads, non-repeatable reads and phantom reads are prevented.
     * This level includes the prohibitions in
     * <code>TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ</code> and further prohibits the 
     * situation where one transaction reads all rows that satisfy
     * a <code>WHERE</code> condition, a second transaction inserts a row that
     * satisfies that <code>WHERE</code> condition, and the first transaction
     * rereads for the same condition, retrieving the additional
     * "phantom" row in the second read.
     */
    int TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE     = 8;
