implementing Custom handling Handling in Spring Boot with JPA - Transactions Not Rolling Back
I'm having a hard time understanding Could someone explain I'm working with a question with custom exception handling in my Spring Boot application that uses JPA... I have a service method where I'm trying to perform multiple database operations within a transaction. I created a custom exception called `CustomDataException`, and I'm expecting the transaction to roll back when this exception is thrown. However, it seems that the transaction is not rolling back as expected, and the changes are being committed to the database. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```java @Service public class MyService { @Autowired private MyRepository myRepository; @Transactional public void performOperation() throws CustomDataException { try { MyEntity entity = new MyEntity(); myRepository.save(entity); // Simulating an behavior throw new CustomDataException("Simulated Exception"); } catch (CustomDataException e) { // Handle exception, but transaction should still roll back throw e; } } } ``` My custom exception looks like this: ```java public class CustomDataException extends RuntimeException { public CustomDataException(String message) { super(message); } } ``` I have annotated my service method with `@Transactional`, which should automatically roll back the transaction when a `RuntimeException` is thrown. However, when I check the database after the method call, I find that the entity has been saved, and the changes are not rolled back. I've checked the following: - The `@Transactional` annotation is correctly placed on the service method. - My `CustomDataException` extends `RuntimeException`. - There are no other exceptions being thrown that might be causing the transaction to commit. Am I missing something here? Do I need to configure anything specific in my Spring Boot application to ensure that the transaction rolls back when my custom exception is thrown? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Cheers for any assistance! For context: I'm using Java on Ubuntu 22.04.
