Spring transaction rollback aop config

[Andy Hahn]

Hi, I have a question regarding rolling back Spring transactions using aop definitions.

   
<tx:advice id="txAdvice" transaction-manager="transactionManager">
    <tx:attributes>
        <tx:method name="save*" />
    </tx:attributes>
</tx:advice>

If I call service.save(), and save() throws a RuntimeException then everything works fine - the transaction is successfully rolled back.

However if I call service.test(), and all test() does is call save(), then the transaction never gets rolled back.

Thoughts?

If you mean service.test() calls this.save(), it will not work.
Because Spring AOP is a proxy-based. It'll work only if the method is called directly from client code.

Andy,
it should work.

Try defining transaction attributes for both methods , for save Required and for test Supports.

This is what I was looking for.

Thanks
