EnableTransactionManagement
Enables Spring
’s annotation-driven
transaction management
capability, similar to the support found in Spring’s <tx:*>
XML namespace
. To be used on @Configuration
classes as follows:
1 |
|
TX namespace
For reference, the example above can be compared to the following Spring XML configuration:
1 |
|
In both of the scenarios above, @EnableTransactionManagement
and <tx:annotation-driven/>
are responsible for registering the necessary Spring components that power annotation-driven transaction management, such as the TransactionInterceptor
and the proxy-
or AspectJ-
based advice that weave the interceptor into the call stack when JdbcFooRepository’s @Transactional methods are invoked.
A minor difference between the two examples lies in the naming of the PlatformTransactionManager
bean: In the @Bean
case, the name is “txManager” (per the name of the method); in the XML case, the name is “transactionManager”. The <tx:annotation-driven/>
is hard-wired to look for a bean named “transactionManager” by default, however @EnableTransactionManagement
is more flexible; it will fall back to a by-type lookup for any PlatformTransactionManager
bean in the container. Thus the name can be “txManager”, “transactionManager”, or “tm”: it simply does not matter.
TransactionManagementConfigurer
For those that wish to establish a more direct relationship between @EnableTransactionManagement
and the exact transaction manager bean to be used, the TransactionManagementConfigurer
callback interface may be implemented - notice the implements
clause and the @Override
-annotated method below:
1 |
|
This approach may be desirable simply because it is more explicit, or it may be necessary in order to distinguish between two PlatformTransactionManager beans present in the same container. As the name suggests, the annotationDrivenTransactionManager() will be the one used for processing @Transactional methods. See TransactionManagementConfigurer Javadoc for further details.
The mode()
attribute controls how advice is applied; if the mode is AdviceMode.PROXY
(the default), then the other attributes control the behavior of the proxying.
If the mode
is set to AdviceMode.ASPECTJ
, then the proxyTargetClass()
attribute is obsolete. Note also that in this case the spring-aspects
module JAR must be present on the classpath.
