Q. about a Hibernate article and TransactionProxyFactoryBean

[jjrobert]

I cookbook quite a bit from Hibernate's "Data Access with the Spring Framework" article ( http://www.hibernate.org/110.html )

Tonight I was working on adding transaction management to a service class and was about to use TransactionProxyFactoryBean when I re-read a line from that article:

A convenient alternative way of setting up declarative transactions is TransactionProxyFactoryBean, particularly if there are no other AOP interceptors involved.

Does the last part mean that I should not use this method if we plan to add other pointcuts to that service? I can back off to the previous method described, which just adds one more bean, but I haven't found anything in your docs or code that would explain why they made that statement.

Thanks,
-Jeff

You can add other interceptors easily enough with postInterceptors and preInterceptors properties

    <bean id="txTemplate" abstract="true" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
		<property name="transactionManager"><ref local="transactionManager"/></property>
		<property name="proxyTargetClass"><value>true</value></property>
		<property name="transactionAttributes">
			<props>
				<prop key="save*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
				<prop key="delete*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
				<prop key="find*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,readOnly</prop>
				<prop key="login*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,readOnly</prop>
			</props>
		</property>
		<property name="preInterceptors">
			<list>
				<ref local="securityInterceptor"/>
			</list>
		</property>
		<property name="postInterceptors">
			<list>
				<ref local="logInterceptor"/>
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>

Do you mean other pointcuts or other interceptors?
