    Default @Transactional only on public methods?

    The @Transactional annotation seems like such a great idea, but I'm curious to know why it's only allowed on public methods. Is this an artifical limitation? Are there any plans to remove this limitation in the future? I didn't find anywhere in the docs that mentioned the reasoning behind it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Default

    That is the way proxy based AOP works. A proxy is generated and only external method calls are being intercepted, external method calls can (normally) only be public methods.

    Check chapter 6 of the reference guide for an explanation of the proxy mechanism. Chapter 6.6 is the one for more information
