Service.java

@Transactional
public void save(Dto dto) throws Exception{
    dao.save(entity);
    throw new Exception();
}

My problem is this exception does not rollback transaction. I have searched a lot and found that spring rollback transaction for runtime/unchecked exceptions by default. I have tried as following;

@Transactional
public void save(Dto dto) throws Exception{
    dao.save(entity);
    throw new RunTimeException();
}

This is working fine but it is not always in code those throws runtime exception everywhere. So, I do dig up and found rollbackFor as following;

@Transactional(rollbackFor = Exception.class)
public void save(Dto dto) throws Exception{
    dao.save(entity);
    throw new Exception();
}

Now I have to change all of my codes to change @Transactional with rollbackFor. But any other way to change all @Transaction advice property to rollbackFor = Exception.class ?

Take a look also at the red rectangle in the image:

With @Transactional The default is to rollback only unchecked exceptions, checked exception won't rollback by default.

This might solve your problem: (Look at the red rectangle)

You suppose to pass an array of classes to this attribute, then you should write it like this:

@Transactional(rollbackFor = new Class[]{Exception.class})

and not like you wrote it:

@Transactional(rollbackFor = Exception.class)

Now, if you want to rollback checked exceptions without specifying the rollbackFor property, you'll have to add XML configuration, to your configuration file. Like this:

<tx:advice id="txAdvice">
    <tx:attributes>
        <tx:method name="*" rollback-for="Throwable"/>
    </tx:attributes>
</tx:advice>

Add this to your configuration XML file. The above will rollback checked exceptions.
