Spring Core · interview question
Why does self-invocation of a method with a @Transactional annotation not work in a Spring application?
Multiple choiceHardchapter-9-curatedpremiumspring-coreapplication-properties
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
A. Spring AOP does not trigger within the same class
Why
Spring AOP uses proxies to manage transactional behavior. When a method is called within the same class, the proxy is bypassed, and the transaction management is not applied. This is why self-invocation does not trigger transactional behaviors.
