Is it possible to invoke transactional method from non transactional method in Spring?

Question

Suppose I have a Repository class.

@Repository
class MyRepository {

    @Transactional
    void method1 () {
        // some logic here
    }

    void method2 () {
        // some logic here
        method1();
        // some logic here
    }
}

Is it possible to do that in String? And how this works?

Answer 1

This does not work, since this a self call. See
Spring @Transaction method call by the method within the same class, does not work?

Depending on your application and its responsibilities, you could create another bean for method2(). Apart from that, DAO methods should usually not be annotated @Transactional. See
Where does the @Transactional annotation belong?
