Spring中事务传播特性（Propagation）

先来看一下Transactional源码，

package org.springframework.transaction.annotation;

import java.lang.annotation.Documented;
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Inherited;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
import org.springframework.core.annotation.AliasFor;

@Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Inherited
@Documented
public @interface Transactional {
    @AliasFor("transactionManager")
    String value() default "";

    @AliasFor("value")
    String transactionManager() default "";

    Propagation propagation() default Propagation.REQUIRED;

    Isolation isolation() default Isolation.DEFAULT;

    int timeout() default -1;

    boolean readOnly() default false;

    Class<? extends Throwable>[] rollbackFor() default {};

    String[] rollbackForClassName() default {};

    Class<? extends Throwable>[] noRollbackFor() default {};

    String[] noRollbackForClassName() default {};
}

其中定义了事务的传播特性Propagation

接下来我们看一下Propagation源码
