Spring Boot 2.1.0 readonly transactions behaviour change












0















With the Upgrade from Spring Boot 2.0.6 to 2.1.0 there is a change of the readOnly flag handling. The code below saves the Customer successfully where the same code in 2.1.0 does not. In 2.1.0 the save method only returns the same Customer entity without the id column filled.



The cause is maybe related to this ticket:
https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-16956



@Service
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public class CustomerService {

private final CustomerRepository customerRepository;

public CustomerService(CustomerRepository customerRepository) {
this.customerRepository = customerRepository;
}

public Customer save(Customer customer) {
return customerRepository.save(customer);
}

}


Also if you have one service where the readOnly flag is set to true which calls another service where the readOnly flag is set to false there are no data saved.



@Service
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public class FirstService {

private final SecondService secondService;

public Foo save(Foo foo) {
return secondService.save(foo);
}

}


@Service
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
public class FirstService {

private final SecondService secondService;

@Transactional(readOnly = false)
public Foo save(Foo foo) {
return secondService.save(foo);
}

}


While this new behaviour is maybe correct it breaks existing application without notice. So my questions are:




  1. Is the behaviour correct?

  2. Is it possible to configure Spring in a way that it throws an exception if you try to save data in a read only transaction.

  3. If the behaviour is correct should Spring check if you call a method with a 'readonly=false' from another method which is configured as a readOnly transaction?

  • 1. Yes, 2. No. 3. No. Readonly is also only a hint, depending on the underlying technology used it might (or might not) work or throw an error. Spring delegates all that to the underlying data store technology.
