For this you need distributed transations, which is exactly what the Java Transaction API is for. Application servers like Spring or Java EE's EJB container support JTA and make it very easy to use via annotations or declarative configuration.

If a client needs to call multiple service methods transactionally, then you'd better create a facade class which executes the 3 operations, transactionally.

If the operations require user input in between - don't do it. Such long-running transactions are prime candidates for performance problems and deadlocks.
