Question

I am quite new in Spring world and I have developed a simple project that use Spring 3.2.1 and Hibernate 4.1.9 to implement a DAO. The project work correctly but I have some

Answer 1

@Transactional is used upon the method.

We declare on method level first it opens the transaction, perform the operation and close the transaction.

If an operation is failed it will be rollback, if an operation is a success it will automatically be committed

This is about @Transactional annotation finally&short.

import hu.daniel.hari.learn.spring.orm.model.Product;
import hu.daniel.hari.learn.spring.orm.service.ProductService;

import java.util.Arrays;

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException;

public class SpringOrmMain {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Create Spring application context
        ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:/spring.xml");

        //Get service from context. (service's dependency (ProductDAO) is autowired in ProductService)
        ProductService productService = ctx.getBean(ProductService.class);

        //Do some data operation

        productService.add(new Product(1, "Bulb"));
        productService.add(new Product(2, "Dijone mustard"));

        System.out.println("listAll: " + productService.listAll());

        //Test transaction rollback (duplicated key)

        try {
            productService.addAll(Arrays.asList(new Product(3, "Book"), new Product(4, "Soap"), new Product(1, "Computer")));
        } catch (DataAccessException dataAccessException) {
        }

        //Test element list after rollback
        System.out.println("listAll: " + productService.listAll());

        ctx.close();
    }
