what exactly is a business transaction

[Tina_Alsop]

I am connecting a java agent to the saas controller. Looking at the business transactions tab, I see a lot of entries. Some with the '.do'  at the end (which I've found  to be 'servlet' and others with '.execute' (-servlet) or 'jsp' (-servlet).

Now, I'm coming from a .NET background. 

Can I refer to all these entries as 'Business transactions'?

I was going to run a test by performing an action on the web application and seeing the resulting action. But, it does not reflect instantly on the controller, so hard to trace.

Thanks
