In my previous tutorial, Spring Boot Transaction Management Example, we looked at transactions and implemented declarative transaction management. In this tutorial, we look at propagation and its different types. In the next tutorial, we will be looking at Spring Boot Transaction Rollback and Spring Boot Transaction Isolation.
What Is Transaction Propagation?
Any application involves a number of services or components making a call to other services or components. Transaction propagation indicates if any component or service will or will not participate in a transaction and how will it behave if the calling component/service already has or does not have a transaction created already.
