Spring nested transactions

Question

In my Spring Boot project I have implemented following service method:

@Transactional
public boolean validateBoard(Board board) {
    boolean result = false;
            


        

Answer 1

Using "self" inject pattern you can resolve this issue.

sample code like below:

@Service @Transactional
public class YourService {
   //... your member

   @Autowired
   private YourService self;   //inject proxy as an instance member variable ;

   @Transactional(propagation= Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
   public void methodFoo() {
      //...
   }

   public void methodBar() {
      //call self.methodFoo() rather than this.methodFoo()
      self.methodFoo();
   }
}

The point is using "self" rather than "this".
