If I have a @Transactional -annotation on a default method in a Spring bean, does the annotation have any effect? Can we use it on default methods

Question

Does @Transactional work on default methods

This won't work on private methods but not sure about default modifiers

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community, Nov 07 '22 at 06:35

No, if you by default mean on package-protected. @Transactional will only work with public methods.

Whats the reason behind this ? – Mahi Nov 07 '22 at 02:13
Because Spring proxy generator by default will simply ignore everything that is not public. Please, refer to this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4396284/does-spring-transactional-attribute-work-on-a-private-method, – Aid Hadzic Nov 07 '22 at 07:56
