           //some check, on the basis of it which may throw exception.

           MyResponseObject obj =  flagclass.method2() ;

            //do some work on the basis of obj,
           //some condition on basis it may throw Exception.
       }

}


 @Service
 class2{
        public MyResponseObject method2(){
        MyResponseObject obj ;
        //do some work
        if(condition) {
            method3()
           throw new Exception();
           }
        return obj ;
        }

        @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
        method3(){
            //do some update in db.
        }
  }

Answer 1

I would create annotation: Say @NoRollbackTransactional

@Transactional(noRollbackFor = RuntimeException.class)
public @interface NoRollbackTransactional {
}

And use on method which i dont want to roll back.

You may also need to turn off globalRollbackOnParticipationFailure.

<property name="globalRollbackOnParticipationFailure" value="false" />
