Do I understand it right, and is your root problem the fact that your Transactional advice is not applied because you call a transactional method from within a non-transactional method in the same class? Can't you just extract the transactional code into another class? Isn't that more readable than this imho really weird construct?

Eg.

@Service
public class A {

  @Autowired B b;

  void doSomething() {
     b.m();  
  }
}

public class B {

   @Transactional
   void m() { .. }
}
