Readonly transactions with Neo4j

Question

Are there any benefits of using Spring @Transactional(readOnly = true) with Neo4j/Neo4j Spring Data ? Should I mark readonly transactions as @Transactional(readOnly = true) or not ?

Answer 1

Since SDN 4.2 (4.2.RC1 at the time of writing) you can use read only transactions.

As of SDN 4.2 you can also define read only transactions.

You can start a read only transaction by marking a class or method with @Transactional(readOnly=true).
