Spring-boot Activiti TaskUser causes rollback when perform TaskService.complete - spring-boot

Question

The workflow suspend at a UserTask. After setting the local and process variables, I tried to TaskService.complete(task.getId()). When leave the method, it Rollback. However, there is no information where I can see what actually causes in the exception.
I am using Spring-boot 1.5.10.RELEASE
Below is a snappet of my maven for activiti:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-basic</artifactId>
<version>5.17.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jpa</artifactId>
<version>5.17.0</version>
</dependency>
This is the bpmn file. I have successfully started a new process, that execute fine for the first 2 "stLockCourseMarks" service task and "IsCourseMarkLocked" exclusive gateway. So it suspend at "Moderation" UserTask:

Below is the method that tries to complete the utModeration UserTask. However, i encounter rollback here.
#Transactional(readOnly = false, propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED)
public List<String> approveCourseMarks(CourseMarksApprovalDto dto, AppUser auser)
throws SmsException {
if (dto == null) throw new SmsException("No approval received","Invalid Approval");
List<String> errors = new ArrayList<String>();
if (dto == null || dto.getTaskId() == null) throw new SmsException("No task information received. Unable to proceed.","Invalid Task");
System.out.println("=== dto="+dto);
Task task = wfTaskService.createTaskQuery()
.taskId(dto.getTaskId())
.active()
.singleResult();
if (task == null) {
errors.add("Course " + dto.getCourse().getFullname()
+ " workflow task is not available to processing. It may already been approved/rejected.");
}
Map<String, Object> localVars = new HashMap<String,Object>();
localVars.put(CourseMarksWorkflowService.VAR_REMARKS, dto.getRemarks());
localVars.put(CourseMarksWorkflowService.CONDITION_APPROVAL_STATUS, dto.getApprovalStatus());
localVars.put(CourseMarksWorkflowService.VAR_ACTUAL_AO_ID, auser.getId());
wfTaskService.setVariablesLocal(task.getId(), localVars);
wfRuntimeService.setVariable(task.getProcessInstanceId(), CourseMarksWorkflowService.CONDITION_APPROVAL_STATUS, dto.getApprovalStatus());
wfTaskService.complete(task.getId());
return errors;
}
Below is the exception i encounter:

What could be cause of the issue? Thanks.

Answer 1

Managed to solved it; require to change the transaction progration from REQUIRES to REQUIRES_NEW. That is the annotation of the method change to this:
#Transactional(readOnly = false, propagation=Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
Do not know exactly why this solve the problem though. If anyone know the reason, will be interested to know.
