Same class invoke NOT effective in Spring AOP cglib

Question

Suppose we have following class

@Service
class MyClass {

    public void testA() { 
        testB();
     }

    @Transactional
    public void testB() { ..         


        

Answer 1

You almost have it right. The proxy looks something more like this:

class Cglib$MyClass extends MyClass {

  MyClass delegate;

  @Override
  public void testB() {
    // ...do transactional things
    delegate.testB();
  }
}

Any call is forwarded by Spring which is why your nested annotations are not activated.

Also, if a virtual method like testA was overridden, Spring could not avoid to invoke the overridden method.
