## Class AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.AbstractFallbackTransactionAttributeSource
  - - org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, TransactionAttributeSource

      public class AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource
      extends AbstractFallbackTransactionAttributeSource
      implements Serializable

  Implementation of the `TransactionAttributeSource` interface for working with transaction metadata in JDK 1.5+ annotation format.

  This class reads Spring's JDK 1.5+ `Transactional` annotation and exposes corresponding transaction attributes to Spring's transaction infrastructure. Also supports EJB3's `TransactionAttribute` annotation (if present). This class may also serve as base class for a custom TransactionAttributeSource, or get customized through `TransactionAnnotationParser` strategies.

    `boolean` | `equals(Object other)`
    `protected TransactionAttribute` | `findTransactionAttribute(Class<?> clazz)` Subclasses need to implement this to return the transaction attribute for the given class, if any.

    - #### AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

          public AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource()

      Create a default AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource, supporting public methods that carry the `Transactional` annotation or the EJB3 `TransactionAttribute` annotation.

    - #### AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

          public AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource(boolean publicMethodsOnly)

      Create a custom AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource, supporting public methods that carry the `Transactional` annotation or the EJB3 `TransactionAttribute` annotation.
      Parameters:
        `publicMethodsOnly` - whether to support public methods that carry the `Transactional` annotation only (typically for use with proxy-based AOP), or protected/private methods as well (typically used with AspectJ class weaving)

    - #### AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

          public AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource(TransactionAnnotationParser annotationParser)

      Create a custom AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource.
      Parameters:
        `annotationParser` - the TransactionAnnotationParser to use

    - #### AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

          public AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource(TransactionAnnotationParser... annotationParsers)

      Create a custom AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource.
      Parameters:
        `annotationParsers` - the TransactionAnnotationParsers to use

    - #### AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource

          public AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource(Set<TransactionAnnotationParser> annotationParsers)

      Create a custom AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource.
      Parameters:
        `annotationParsers` - the TransactionAnnotationParsers to use

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### findTransactionAttribute

          protected TransactionAttribute findTransactionAttribute(Method method)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractFallbackTransactionAttributeSource`
      Subclasses need to implement this to return the transaction attribute for the given method, if any.
      Specified by:
        `findTransactionAttribute` in class `AbstractFallbackTransactionAttributeSource`
      Parameters:
        `method` - the method to retrieve the attribute for
      Returns:
        all transaction attribute associated with this method (or `null` if none)

    - #### findTransactionAttribute

          protected TransactionAttribute findTransactionAttribute(Class<?> clazz)

      Description copied from class: `AbstractFallbackTransactionAttributeSource`
      Subclasses need to implement this to return the transaction attribute for the given class, if any.
      Specified by:
        `findTransactionAttribute` in class `AbstractFallbackTransactionAttributeSource`
      Parameters:
        `clazz` - the class to retrieve the attribute for
      Returns:
        all transaction attribute associated with this class (or `null` if none)

    - #### determineTransactionAttribute

          protected TransactionAttribute determineTransactionAttribute(AnnotatedElement ae)

      Determine the transaction attribute for the given method or class.

      This implementation delegates to configured `TransactionAnnotationParsers` for parsing known annotations into Spring's metadata attribute class. Returns `null` if it's not transactional.

      Can be overridden to support custom annotations that carry transaction metadata.

      Parameters:
        `ae` - the annotated method or class
      Returns:
        TransactionAttribute the configured transaction attribute, or `null` if none was found

    - #### allowPublicMethodsOnly

          protected boolean allowPublicMethodsOnly()

      By default, only public methods can be made transactional.
      Overrides:
        `allowPublicMethodsOnly` in class `AbstractFallbackTransactionAttributeSource`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object other)

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
