Programmatic transaction management is usually a good idea only if you have a small
|
|
|
|
|
number of transactional operations. For example, if you have a web application that
|
|
|
|
|
requires transactions only for certain update operations, you may not want to set up
|
|
|
|
|
transactional proxies by using Spring or any other technology. In this case, using the
|
|
|
|
|
`TransactionTemplate` may be a good approach. Being able to set the transaction name
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly is also something that can be done only by using the programmatic approach
|
|
|
|
|
to transaction management.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, if your application has numerous transactional operations,
|
|
|
|
|
declarative transaction management is usually worthwhile. It keeps transaction
|
|
|
|
|
management out of business logic and is not difficult to configure. When using the
|
|
|
|
|
Spring Framework, rather than EJB CMT, the configuration cost of declarative transaction
|
|
|
|
|
management is greatly reduced.
