Embedded Transaction management JPA

Question

I have these two classes:

public class A {
   @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, readOnly = true, value="transactionManager")
   public void methodA() {
      B.methodB();
   }
}

@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, readOnly = false, rollbackFor=Exception.class,  noRollbackFor = MyCustomCheckedException.class, value="transactionManager")
public class B {
   @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, readOnly = true, value="transactionManager")
   public void methodB() throws MyCustomCheckedException {
       try {
       } catch ( AnotherException ex ) {
          throw new MyCustomCheckedException(ex.getCode(), ex.getMessage(), ex);
       }
   }
}

MyCustomCheckedException is raised in B.methodB().

In the inner Transaction I am not expecting rollback , but I get an exception after all A.methodA() is executed

Any ideas?

Basically the transaction starts on methodA() call and all the @Transactional inside the call hierarchy are ignored. The transaction changes only if one of the inner @Transactional has Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW which creates new transaction irrespective of an existing transaction.

The methodA(), where the transaction starts, doesn't have noRollBackFor, hence you see the error.

From javadoc on Propagation.REQUIRED

/**
 * Support a current transaction, create a new one if none exists.
 * Analogous to EJB transaction attribute of the same name.
 * <p>This is the default setting of a transaction annotation.
 */
REQUIRED(TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_REQUIRED)

There are a few other propagation types also, which can alter the ongoing transaction e.g NOT_SUPPORTED which suspends the ongoing transaction.
