Difference @Require and @Transaction annotation

[akhtar24]

I Have two Questions:

1. what is difference between @Require and @Transaction annotation?
2. why we need this annotation, it is compulsory to use?




Thank You,

@akhtar24,

I would say that besides both being annotation they have nothing in common.

@Required annotation indicates that the affected bean property must be populated at configuration time: http://static.springsource.org/sprin...red-annotation

@Transactional annotation makes sure that a class/method runs within a transaction ( you would have to activate it by "<tx:annotation-driven/>" ): http://static.springsource.org/sprin...ve-annotations
