Spring Batch Transaction Exception:Existing transaction detected in JobRepository

Question

I am trying this and get exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Existing transaction detected in JobRepository. Please fix this and try again (e.g. remove @Transactional annotations from client).

Is there anyone who have encountered this problem?

   @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
public void method1() // this method must be Transactional 
{

    ...    /*code to call JMS services*/

  method2();
}

@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.NOT_SUPPORTED)
public void method2()
{
  batchService.runJobWithId(123L);
}

Answer 1

Try removing @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.NOT_SUPPORTED) from method2()
