How to rollback nested transactions with Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW in integration tests

Question

I have several integration tests for various services that extend the following baseclass:

@ContextConfiguration(locations=\"classpath:applicationContext-test.xm         


        

Answer 1

I added comment to Spring improvement ticket on this. I'll copy it here too:

I worked around this problem by converting all service methods that were declaratively setup like this

@Transactional(propagation = REQUIRES_NEW)
public Object doSmth() {
  // doSmthThatRequiresNewTx
}

to use TransactionTemplate instead:

private TransactionTemplate transactionTemplate;

public Object doSmth() {
  return transactionTemplate.execute(new TransactionCallback
