Declarative transaction will not work when .... ?

[leonchen]

Hi,

I have declared ClassA.methodX() as PROGATAION_REQUIRED.
The transaction mechaism works fine, when other object
invokes ClassA.methodX() directly. If methodX() throws Exception, all data are rollback successfully.

But if I create another method as ClassA.methodY(),
which has no transaction property, and it will invoke ClassA.methodX(),
such as:

ClassA {

    public void methodY() {
            this.methodX();
     }
     
    public void methodX() {
            ....
     }

}

Then another object invoke methodY() first,
-> methodX() is ivoked -> methodX() throws Exceptions,
data are not rollback !?

Is it normal?

ps. methodX() will invoke other methods, some are also declared as PROGATAION_REQUIRED

ps. I am using Spring 1.1.1

Thanks for any comment!

I'm not sure I understand your example exactly, but take a look at this:

In summary, calling methods via the this reference bypasses the transaction proxy. You must direct intra-object calls through the proxy.

Dear rhasselbaum,
I think you understand my problem.
Thanks for your comment, it helps me a lot.

It looks like I cann't just write business methods too feely....

Is there any more official document to talk about this topic?

Thanks!
