Multiple choiceHardchapter-9-curatedpremiumspring-coretransactions-and-proxies
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
C. They might not work if the class is not public
Why
CGLIB-based proxies create subclasses to intercept method calls, which require the classes to be public. If a class is not public, the proxy cannot be created, leading to issues with transaction management.
