Transaction Attributes

You can use transaction attributes to control the isolation, propagation, and timeout settings. You can find more information on setting transaction attributes in the Spring core documentation.

  • Java

  • XML

The following example sets the isolation, propagation, and timeout transaction attributes in Java:

Java Configuration
@Bean
public Step step1(JobRepository jobRepository, PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager) {
	DefaultTransactionAttribute attribute = new DefaultTransactionAttribute();
	attribute.setPropagationBehavior(Propagation.REQUIRED.value());
	attribute.setIsolationLevel(Isolation.DEFAULT.value());
	attribute.setTimeout(30);

	return new StepBuilder("step1", jobRepository)
				.<String, String>chunk(2, transactionManager)
				.reader(itemReader())
				.writer(itemWriter())
				.transactionAttribute(attribute)
				.build();
}

The following example sets the isolation, propagation, and timeout transaction attributes in XML:

XML Configuration
<step id="step1">
    <tasklet>
        <chunk reader="itemReader" writer="itemWriter" commit-interval="2"/>
        <transaction-attributes isolation="DEFAULT"
                                propagation="REQUIRED"
                                timeout="30"/>
    </tasklet>
</step>
