Question

I’m running as unit test and it automatically goes back even if I don’t use the@rollback in spring 3.1.
My test looks like

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:application-context.xml" })
public class PersonServiceTest {

    @Test
    @Transactional
    public void savePerson() {
            Person person = createPerson();
            personService.savePerson(person);
    }
}

Is Rollback behavior is set by default?

Answer 1

By default SpringJUnit4ClassRunner will rollback transactions automatically.

To negate the effect, use @TransactionConfiguration(defaultRollback=false) on your test class or @Rollback(false) on each test.
