Introduction to Spring
Spring is a popular Java framework that provides many features, including support for transactions. Transactions are a mechanism used to ensure data integrity and consistency. In an application, when multiple database operations are involved, errors or failures may occur. To solve these problems, transactions can be used to ensure that all database operations succeed or all fail, thereby ensuring data integrity and consistency.

In Spring, transaction management is implemented through the TransactionManager interface. TransactionManager is an abstract class that provides methods for opening, committing, rolling back, and closing transactions. Spring also provides a variety of transaction managers, including JDBC, Hibernate and JTA.
There are two ways to implement Spring transactions: programmatic transaction management and declarative transaction management.
Programmatic transaction management is to manage transactions by writing Java code. This method requires manual control of the opening, submission and rollback of transactions, so it is more cumbersome. In Spring, programmatic transaction management is implemented through the TransactionTemplate class. The TransactionTemplate class encapsulates the methods of the TransactionManager interface and provides a simple API to manage transactions.
Declarative transaction management is managed by declaring transactions in configuration files. This method is implemented using AOP (aspect-oriented programming), which can reduce the amount of code and make the code easier to maintain. In Spring, declarative transaction management is implemented through the @Transactional annotation. Use the @Transactional annotation to mark a method as transactional, thereby automatically handling transaction management.
Transaction propagation behavior refers to how to handle existing transactions when calling a transactional method. Spring provides a variety of communication behaviors, including REQUIRED, REQUIRES_NEW, NESTED, etc. REQUIRED means that if a transaction already exists, this transaction will be used; if not, a new transaction will be created. REQUIRES_NEW means to create a new transaction regardless of whether a transaction already exists. NESTED means creating a nested transaction within an existing transaction. If the outer transaction is rolled back, the nested transaction will be rolled back.
When using Spring transactions, you also need to pay attention to the following points:
The boundaries of transactions should be as small as possible, that is, limiting the scope of transactions to the smallest block of code.
Transactions should be kept simple and should not contain too much logic.
You need to pay attention to the use of database locks to avoid deadlocks.
It is necessary to pay attention to exception handling to ensure that transactions can be rolled back normally.
In short, Spring provides a convenient transaction management mechanism that can help developers manage transactions easily. When using Spring transactions, you need to pay attention to the scope of the transaction, the simplicity of the transaction, the use of database locks, and exception handling. At the same time, appropriate transaction managers and propagation behaviors need to be selected to meet different business needs.
Here is a simple example demonstrating how to use declarative transaction management in Spring:
@Service
public class UserService {
@Autowired
private UserDao userDao;
@Transactional
public void addUser(User user) {
userDao.addUser(user);
}
@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor = Exception.class)
public void updateUser(User user) {
userDao.updateUser(user);
}
@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW, rollbackFor = Exception.class)
public void deleteUser(int userId) {
userDao.deleteUser(userId);
}
}
In the above example, the three methods in the UserService class are marked as transactional using the @Transactional annotation. Among them, the addUser method uses the default propagation behavior REQUIRED, the updateUser method uses the REQUIRED propagation behavior, and rolls back the transaction when an exception is encountered, and the deleteUser method uses the REQUIRES_NEW propagation behavior, and rolls back the transaction when an exception is encountered.
In short, Spring transaction management is a very important feature that can help developers achieve data integrity and consistency. When using Spring transactions, you need to choose an appropriate transaction manager and propagation behavior, and pay attention to the scope and simplicity of the transaction, the use of database locks, and exception handling.
