can @Order be applied on @Transactional?

Question

I have a method which is annotated with @Transactional and another custom annotation @Custom. This custom annotation is wrapped around an advice. The sequence of operation is like below:

1.Transactional method gets called
2.Sees @Transactional and @Custom
3.As @Custom is intercepted by around advice, it first executes code before invocation of method
4.invocationContext.proceed()
5.Transaction gets created
6.Actual method runs
7.Back to around advice and executes code after method invocation

I want to create the transaction before the advice is called. Like below:

1.Transactional method gets called
2.Sees @Transactional and @Custom
3.Transaction gets created (propagate this transaction to @Custom)
4.As @Custom is intercepted by around advice, it first executes code before invocation of method
5.invocationContext.proceed()
6.Actual method runs
7.Back to around advice and executes code after method invocation

So that both advice and method are in same transaction

Can we use @Order on @Transactional, so taht first my transacion is created and then the advice executed?

Answer 1

Yes, in the @Configuration class use:

@EnableTransactionManagement(order = Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE)

or whatever order you need
