Quarkus Extension for Spring Transaction API

While users are encouraged to use Jakarta @Transactional annotations directly, Quarkus provides a compatibility layer for Spring @Transactional in the form of the spring-tx extension.

This guide explains how a Quarkus application can leverage the Spring @Transactional annotation to manage transactions.

Prerequisites

完成这个指南,你需要:

  • 大概15分钟

  • 编辑器

  • JDK 17+ installed with JAVA_HOME configured appropriately

  • Apache Maven 3.9.16

  • 如果你愿意的话,还可以选择使用Quarkus CLI

  • 如果你想构建原生可执行程序,可以选择安装Mandrel或者GraalVM,并正确配置(或者使用Docker在容器中进行构建)

  • Some familiarity with the Spring DI extension

Creating the Maven project

First, we need a new project. Create a new project with the following command:

CLI
quarkus create app org.acme:spring-tx-quickstart \
    --extension='spring-web,spring-di,spring-tx,spring-data-jpa,jdbc-postgresql' \
    --no-code
cd spring-tx-quickstart

创建Grade项目,请添加 --gradle 或者 --gradle-kotlin-dsl 参数。

For more information about how to install and use the Quarkus CLI, see the Quarkus CLI guide.

Maven
mvn io.quarkus.platform:quarkus-maven-plugin:3.37.0:create \
    -DprojectGroupId=org.acme \
    -DprojectArtifactId=spring-tx-quickstart \
    -Dextensions='spring-web,spring-di,spring-tx,spring-data-jpa,jdbc-postgresql' \
    -DnoCode
cd spring-tx-quickstart

创建Grade项目,请添加 -DbuildTool=gradle 或者 -DbuildTool=gradle-kotlin-dsl 参数。

For Windows users:

  • If using cmd, (don’t use backward slash \ and put everything on the same line)

  • If using Powershell, wrap -D parameters in double quotes e.g. "-DprojectArtifactId=spring-tx-quickstart"

This command generates a project which imports the spring-tx, spring-di, spring-web, and spring-data-jpa extensions.

If you already have your Quarkus project configured, you can add the spring-tx extension to your project by running the following command in your project base directory:

CLI
quarkus extension add spring-tx
Maven
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions='spring-tx'
Gradle
./gradlew addExtension --extensions='spring-tx'

This will add the following to your build file:

pom.xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-spring-tx</artifactId>
</dependency>
build.gradle
implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-spring-tx")

Define the entity

Throughout the course of this guide, the following JPA Entity will be used:

package org.acme.spring.tx;

import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class Fruit {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    private String name;

    public Fruit() {
    }

    public Fruit(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

Define the repository

In a typical Spring Data fashion, create a repository for Fruit:

package org.acme.spring.tx;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;

public interface FruitRepository extends CrudRepository<Fruit, Long> {

    List<Fruit> findByName(String name);
}

Creating a transactional service

Now let’s create a service that uses Spring’s @Transactional annotation to manage transactions. Create src/main/java/org/acme/spring/tx/FruitService.java with the following content:

package org.acme.spring.tx;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

@Service
public class FruitService {

    @Autowired
    FruitRepository fruitRepository;

    @Transactional (1)
    public Fruit addFruit(String name) {
        return fruitRepository.save(new Fruit(name));
    }

    @Transactional(propagation = org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Propagation.REQUIRED) (2)
    public void addMultipleFruits(List<String> names) {
        for (String name : names) {
            fruitRepository.save(new Fruit(name));
        }
    }
}
1 The Spring @Transactional annotation is automatically transformed into a Jakarta @Transactional annotation at build time.
2 You can specify propagation attributes just like in Spring. REQUIRED is the default.

You can also place @Transactional at the class level to make all public methods transactional:

package org.acme.spring.tx;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

@Service
@Transactional (1)
public class TransactionalService {

    public void doSomething() {
        // this method is transactional
    }

    public void doSomethingElse() {
        // this method is also transactional
    }
}
1 All public methods of this class are transactional.

Controlling rollback behavior

Spring’s rollbackFor and noRollbackFor attributes are supported:

package org.acme.spring.tx;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

@Service
public class RollbackService {

    @Transactional(rollbackFor = BusinessException.class) (1)
    public void performBusinessOperation() throws BusinessException {
        // if BusinessException is thrown, the transaction rolls back
    }

    @Transactional(noRollbackFor = NonCriticalException.class) (2)
    public void performTolerantOperation() throws NonCriticalException {
        // if NonCriticalException is thrown, the transaction still commits
    }
}
1 The transaction will roll back if BusinessException (or a subclass) is thrown.
2 The transaction will NOT roll back if NonCriticalException is thrown.

Update the Jakarta REST resource

With the repository and service in place, create the Jakarta REST resource that will use the FruitService. Create src/main/java/org/acme/spring/tx/FruitResource.java with the following content:

package org.acme.spring.tx;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class FruitResource {

    @Autowired
    FruitService fruitService;

    @Autowired
    FruitRepository fruitRepository;

    @GetMapping("/fruits")
    public List<Fruit> list() {
        return (List<Fruit>) fruitRepository.findAll();
    }

    @PostMapping("/fruits")
    public Fruit add(@RequestBody Fruit fruit) {
        return fruitService.addFruit(fruit.getName());
    }
}

Package and run the application

Quarkus Dev Services will automatically start a PostgreSQL container in dev and test modes, so no manual database configuration is needed.

Run the application with:

CLI
quarkus dev
Maven
./mvnw quarkus:dev
Gradle
./gradlew --console=plain quarkusDev

In another terminal, add a fruit:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "Apple"}' http://localhost:8080/fruits

Then list all fruits:

curl http://localhost:8080/fruits

As usual, the application can be packaged using:

CLI
quarkus build
Maven
./mvnw install
Gradle
./gradlew build

And executed using java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar.

You can also generate the native executable with:

CLI
quarkus build --native
Maven
./mvnw install -Dnative
Gradle
./gradlew build -Dquarkus.native.enabled=true

Important Technical Note

Please note that the Spring support in Quarkus does not start a Spring Application Context nor are any Spring infrastructure classes run. Spring classes and annotations are only used for reading metadata and / or are used as user code method return types or parameter types. What that means for end users, is that adding arbitrary Spring libraries will not have any effect. Moreover, Spring infrastructure classes (like org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanPostProcessor for example) will not be executed.
