Question - How to Enable Transactions in Spring and What Are Their Benefits?
Answer -
There are two distinct ways to configure Transactions — with annotations or by using Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) — each with their advantages.
Here are the benefits of using Spring Transactions, according to the official docs:
- Provide a consistent programming model across different transaction APIs such as JTA, JDBC, Hibernate, JPA and JDO
- Support declarative transaction management
- Provide a simpler API for programmatic transaction management than some complex transaction APIs such as JTA
- Integrate very well with Spring's various data access abstractions
