Requires_new rollback when outer transaction fails

hi,
i m new to spring, and i faced this weird probleme,

my source code is as follow:

Quote:

---

@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public void persisteRelationShip(int idp, int idv) {
Personne p = new Personne();
p.setIdpersonne(idp);
p.setLogin("p2");
p.setPasswd("p2");
personneDao.merge(p);
Velo v = new Velo();
v.setIdvelo(idv);
v.setNomVelo("VTT");
v.setPersonne(p);
veloDao.merge(v);
}

@Transactional
public void removeWithRelationShip(int idp, int idv) {
persisteRelationShip(idp, idv);
Personne p=personneDao.findById(idp);
p.setLogin("jaaaaaaaaaaao");
throw new RuntimeException();
}

I ve thrown intentionally an exception in the second method to prompt a rollback.

in a main when i call the second method (removeWithRelationShip), an exception is generated as expected, but surprisingly i don't find my person and velo in the database, isn't that normal.??? or it's me who didn't understand the "requires_new" propagation type. thank you in advance

NB: i use an eclipselink implementation for JPA, a LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean with pooled datasource (dbcp), and a simple JPAtransactionManager, the underlying database is a Mysql DB.

:( i m so upset that noone's take the pain to put some tracks that i can follow, but any way i love U all :),
thanks to the open source, i could debug and figure out that i must call the method from a bean reference picked from the spring context to allow him(spring) to put his transactional stuff via proxing.

conclusion :don't call your methods directly to benifits from AOP in general (i think with compile time weaving that will work anyway).
