I have beed doing some tests on Petclinic application in order to see how transaction management works.

In [b]HibernateClinic [/b]class , method [b]loadPet[/b] I've inserted 2 calls : one to [b]storeOwner()[/b] and second to [b]storeVisit()[/b].
The method [b]storeVisit[/b] is throwing an exception and due to this transaction is rolledback.
When I have been tested this code change throught petclinic web interface everything works correct: the transaction is rolledback.

Then, I have created my own jsp page for test, in wich I get an reference to Clinic Bean from application context (ctx.getBean("bean_id")).
When I am calling the same [b]loadPet[/b] method, the transaction is not rolled back and the owner remains inserted in the database.

I presume that the interceptor proxy is not called from my jsp page, because the call is treated as 2 transactions individually.

How can I make my own jsp page to work without using the MVC provided by Spring?

Many Thanks, Florin Marcus.

Which bean have you fetched in your JSP? It needs to be the transactional proxy, not the target business object: i.e. "clinic", not "clinicTarget". Then the transactional behavior should be exactly the same as in the standard sample with Spring's web MVC, because that's exactly what the controllers there do too.

Spring's transaction management is by no means tied to or influenced by Spring's web MVC division. They are completely different aspects of the framework that can be applied individually.

Yes, many thanks. I have finally understand the meaning of proxy.
For my Service Object I didn't had an inteterface to implement.
Now it works.

Thanks again.

FYI, you don't need to implement an interface for proxying: TransactionProxyFactoryBean has a property "proxyInterfacesOnly" that can be set to false for proxying the full class, no matter if it implements a business interface or not. This is not the default as accessing business services via interfaces only is recommended. Furthermore, proxying the full class requires CGLIB on the class path; proxying an interface just requires J2SE 1.3.
