Problem using TransactionProxyFactoryBean

[tomor]

I have the follwing code:

<bean id="txTemplateProxy" abstract="true" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
	<property name="transactionManager"><ref bean="transactionManager"/></property>
	<property name="transactionAttributes">
		<props>
			<prop key="insert*">PROPAGATION_NOT_SUPPORTED</prop>
			<prop key="_insert*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
		</props>
	</property>
</bean>

<bean id="userService" parent="txTemplateProxy">
	<property name="target">
		<bean class="eg.UserServiceImpl"></bean>
	</property>
</bean>

public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {
	public void insert() {
		this._insert();
		// some business logic...
	}

	public void _insert() {
		// some business logic...
	}
}

My question is when I called the _insert() method from insert(), it's not in 'PROPAGATION_REQUIRED' transaction, but PROPAGATION_NOT_SUPPORTED.
When I call it like this "context.getBean("userService")._insert();" instead of "this._insert()", it's called as 'PROPAGATION_REQUIRED'.

What I want to do is when I called this._insert() method from same instance, I want to run other transaction without calling like "context.getBean("userService")._insert();".

sorry my bad english.

I don't think there's any non-intrusive way to do this (except try Spring's ApectJ integration). As you know, you've got to go through the proxy for the transaction advice to get applied.

As katentim said you have to use a proxy which means you need to get the bean from the Spring context. We had the same problem and tried to create several instances so bean A had a reference back to itself but in the form of A1 - however this prove to not be very scalable.
You can refactor your code so the methods are in different beans which means calling a different method will spawn cross proxies.

thank you for help.

after that, I have found same issues that another guy got, too.
