One Transaction across multiple methods

Is it possible to have one method start a transaction and another method finish it?

In the following I want add() to start the transaction and save to commit it, but the flushmode is not getting set at all and the record gets persisted at the end of add():

@Name("personPage")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
@Transactional
public class PersonPage implements Serializable {

	@Begin(join=true, flushMode=FlushModeType.MANUAL)
	public void add() {		
		personHome.persist();
	}

	@End
	public void save() {
		personHome.getEntityManager().flush();
	}
}
