Spring Disable #Transactional from Configuration java file - spring

Question

I have a code base which is using for two different applications. some of my spring service classes has annotation #Transactional. On server start I would like to disable #Transactional based on some configuration.
The below is my configuration Class.
#Configuration
#EnableTransactionManagement
#PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class WebAppConfig {
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_DRIVER = "db.driver";
#Resource
private Environment env;
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
dataSource.setDriverClassName(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_DRIVER));
dataSource.setUrl(url);
dataSource.setUsername(userId);
dataSource.setPassword(password);
return dataSource;
}
#Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager txManager() {
DefaultTransactionDefinition def = new DefaultTransactionDefinition();
def.setIsolationLevel(TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_DEFAULT);
if(appName.equqls("ABC")) {
def.setPropagationBehavior(TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_NEVER);
}else {
def.setPropagationBehavior(TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_REQUIRED);
}
CustomDataSourceTransactionManager txM=new CustomDataSourceTransactionManager(def);
txM.setDataSource(dataSource());
return txM;
}
#Bean
public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate() {
JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate = new JdbcTemplate();
jdbcTemplate.setDataSource(dataSource());
return jdbcTemplate;
}
}
I am trying to ovveried methods in DataSourceTransactionManager to make the functionality. But still it is trying to commit/rollback the transaction at end of transaction. Since there is no database connection available it is throwing exception.
If I keep #Transactional(propagation=Propagation.NEVER), everything works perfectly, but I cannot modify it as another app is using the same code base and it is necessary in that case.
I would like to know if there is a to make transaction fully disable from configuration without modifying #Transactional annotation.

I'm not sure if it would work but you can try to implement custom TransactionInterceptor and override its method that wraps invocation into a transaction, by removing that transactional stuff. Something like this:
public class NoOpTransactionInterceptor extends TransactionInterceptor {
#Override
protected Object invokeWithinTransaction(
Method method,
Class<?> targetClass,
InvocationCallback invocation
) throws Throwable {
// Simply invoke the original unwrapped code
return invocation.proceedWithInvocation();
}
}
Then you declare a conditional bean in one of #Configuration classes
// assuming this property is stored in Spring application properties file
#ConditionalOnProperty(name = "turnOffTransactions", havingValue = "true"))
#Bean
#Role(BeanDefinition.ROLE_INFRASTRUCTURE)
public TransactionInterceptor transactionInterceptor(
/* default bean would be injected here */
TransactionAttributeSource transactionAttributeSource
) {
TransactionInterceptor interceptor = new NoOpTransactionInterceptor();
interceptor.setTransactionAttributeSource(transactionAttributeSource);
return interceptor;
}
Probably you gonna need additional configurations, I can't verify that right now
