I am exploring spring transactions and after going through the spring docs and the following link i still have few questions. If I have a parent method with Propogation.REQUIRED which is calling 3 methods with Propogation.REQUIRES_NEW as follows:
//@Transactional(isolation=Isolation.READ_COMMITTED, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
public Contact saveContactInSteps(Contact contact, String newFirstName, String newLastName, Date bDate) throws Exception {
contact.setFirstName(newFirstName);
try {
updateContactFirstName(contact);
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error("Contact first name could not be saved !!");
e.printStackTrace();
throw e;
}
contact.setLastName(newLastName);
try {
updateContactLastName(contact);
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error("Contact Last name could not be saved !!");
e.printStackTrace();
throw e;
}
contact.setBirthDate(bDate);
updateContactBday(contact);
return contact;
}
public Contact saveById(Contact contact) {
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().saveOrUpdate(contact);
LOG.info("Contact " + contact + " saved successfully");
return contact;
}
//@Transactional(isolation=Isolation.READ_COMMITTED, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public Contact updateContactFirstName(Contact contact) throws Exception {
throw new Exception("Cannot update first name");
//sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().saveOrUpdate(contact);
//LOG.info("Contact First name saved successfully");
//return contact;
}
//@Transactional(isolation=Isolation.READ_COMMITTED, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public Contact updateContactLastName(Contact contact) throws Exception {
throw new Exception("Cannot update last name");
//sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().saveOrUpdate(contact);
//LOG.info("Contact " + contact + " saved successfully");
//return contact;
}
//@Transactional(isolation=Isolation.READ_COMMITTED, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public Contact updateContactBday(Contact contact) {
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().saveOrUpdate(contact);
LOG.info("Contact Birth Date saved successfully");
return contact;
}
Whenever i process the parent method i.e. saveContactInSteps, even the last name is getting updated in database. I am not sure how that is happening. If i throw the exception from first child method nothing gets updated. Is it because of the fact that i am setting the attributes i.e. names and birthdate in the parent method ? Even if i am setting the attributes in the parent method, i am not letting the parent method complete as well. Does the isolation level play any part here ? I believe it's for concurrent transactions ? Is there something i am missing ?
EDIT 1:
After going through the article i did realize what i was missing. I needed AOP proxies in place which i have added as follows:
<aop:config>
<aop:pointcut
expression="execution(* org.pack.spring.transactions.ContactService.*(..))"
id="updateOperation" />
<aop:advisor pointcut-ref="updateOperation" advice-ref="saveUpdateAdvice" />
</aop:config>
<tx:advice id="saveUpdateAdvice">
<tx:attributes>
<tx:method name="update*" propagation="REQUIRES_NEW" isolation="DEFAULT" rollback-for="Exception"/>
<tx:method name="save*" propagation="REQUIRED" isolation="DEFAULT" rollback-for="Exception"/>
</tx:attributes>
</tx:advice>
Log output is as follows:

Note - I have removed the @Transactional annotations from the methods as i am relying on proxy to achieve the same.
From the logs, it seems that the proxies are getting created but again as pointed out in the comment, will the 3 methods invoked from saveContactInSteps not have a transaction against them as mentioned in the documentation :
In proxy mode (which is the default), only external method calls coming in through the proxy are intercepted. This means that self-invocation, in effect, a method within the target object calling another method of the target object, will not lead to an actual transaction at runtime even if the invoked method is marked with @Transactional. Also, the proxy must be fully initialized to provide the expected behaviour so you should not rely on this feature in your initialization code, i.e. @PostConstruct
Is there a way to get around this ? Is AspectJ the only solution ?
