Spring @Transactional annotations ignored

Question

My @Transactionnal annotations seems to be ignored. I have no errors on the initialization of the Spring container. It looks like my method has not been proxied by Spring TX

Answer 1

You need to define an interface for the @Transactional annotations to work:

public interface ApplicationsService {
    public void createApplication(Application application);
}

And the concrete class:

@Service
public class ApplicationsServiceImpl {
    @Transactional
    public void createApplication(Application application) {
        // ...
    }
}

Alternatively, per Kevin Welker's comment, if don't want an interface (though you probably should write an interface), you can configure use proxy-target-class:

edit

The message from your SQLException is:

Field 'status' doesn't have a default value

So maybe you're passing in null where you should be providing a value? Alternatively, check this post for some weirdness associated with this error.
