Transaction Processing in Spring

The Spring Framework offers many options for handling database transactions. However, how do you know which options to choose from? Should you use the Spring Framework DataSourceTransactionManager, JtaTransactionManager, or the JpaTransactionManager? When should you use global (XA) transactions? Should you use declarative transactions with annotations or use programmatic transactions? How can you improve the performance and scalability of your application through the use of transactions? As you can guess, there is a right way and a wrong way of using transactions with Spring. In this session I will discuss transaction processing within the Spring Framework and through live coding show you how to effectively use transactions within Spring.
