@Transactional does not work on method level

Question

I have a question about Spring 3.2.3 @Transactional annotation. My Service class looks like this:

@Service @Transactional
class InventoryDisclosureBO {

@Aut         


        

Answer 1

You cannot call persist() from processDisclosureData() because it belongs to the same class and it will bypass transactional proxy created by Spring for InventoryDisclosureBO. You should call it from other beans to make @Transactional annotations work. When Spring injects a reference to InventoryDisclosureBO bean to other beans it actually injects a reference to InventoryDisclosureBOProxy which contains transactional logic, eg

    class Bean2 {

      @Autowire
      private InventoryDisclosureBO idbo;   <-- Spring will inject a proxy here

      public void persist(InventoryDisclosureStatus data) {
           idbo.persist(data);     <-- now it will work via proxy
      }
