Spring #Transaction not rolling back on RuntimeException - spring

Question

I want to support rollback when an exception occurs in my code.
I use junit + datasource in Spring config file for testing and Glassfish 2.1 for the real code (using jndi datasource).
Here a sample of the code.
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:test-web-spring-config.xml" })
public class PersistTest {
#Autowired
Transformer transformer;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
}
#Test
#Transactional("transactionManagerTest")
//#Rollback(false)
// #Ignore
public void test() {
transformer.export();
}
}
#Component
public class Transformer {
#Autowired
ContextPersist context;
#Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor=Exception.class)
public void export(){
//code here
// persist here
context.persist();
// to test a rollback
throw new RuntimeException("testing rollback2");
}
}
#Component
public class ContextPersist {
#Autowired
#Qualifier(value = "dataSource")
DataSource dataSource;
// bulk insert
JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
#Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor=Exception.class)
public void persist() {
jdbcTemplate = new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
//.. here I insert data with jdbcTemplate.batchUpdate(....)
// to test a rollback
throw new RuntimeException("testing rollback1");
}
}
That code doesn't rollback.
If I use #Rollback(true) in my Junit, the transaction will rollback. But I need the same behavior outside a JUnit.
EDITED : (added the spring config)
My project contains a webapp (demo.war) and a jar for DAO+businessrules
In my webapp, I have my transformer.
I have a parent Spring config in this webapp, and a common spring config shared with others webapps.
Here the files.

Answer 1

your transaction manager is
org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager
but you use JdbcTemplate
the AOP is configured to auto begin/commit/rollback on hibernate operations.
jdbcTemplate would not participate in any transaction.
no transaction = no rollback.
its like connection.setAutoCommit(true);
