Oh _come on_! If you insist on writing a console-based interactive
program in Java, at least have enough common sense to not choose
control codes for the expected user input.

    System.out.println("Do you want commit/rollback? (c / r + enter)");
    boolean validInput = false;
    while( !validInput ) {
       String input = br.readLine();
       if( input == null || input.equals( "r" ) ) {
         validInput = true;
         rollbackTransaction();
       }
       else if( input.equals( "c" ) {
         validInput = true;
         commitTransaction( );
       }
       else {
         System.out.println( "Please enter either c for commit or r for rollback." );
       }
    }
