ebean-spring-txn

Integration with Spring managed transactions.

This project provides an Ebean ExternalTransactionManager specifically to integrate with Springs JDBC Transaction manager.

To use

DatabaseConfig config = new DatabaseConfig();

// set SpringJdbcTransactionManager ... as the external transaction manager
config.setExternalTransactionManager(new SpringJdbcTransactionManager());

...
Database database = DatabaseFactory.create(config);

Notes

You can use Ebean in Spring/Spring Boot without this and that case Ebean manages the Transactions itself. With Ebean managing the transactions there are some benefits with more control over JDBC batch, getGeneratedKeys and a simpler abstraction (as Spring transactions is designed to manage multiple resources such as JDBC Transactions and JPA EntityManager and Ebean only needs to manage JDBC Transactions).

Java modules

Add requires io.ebean.spring.txn to module-info.

module foo {

  requires io.ebean.spring.txn;
  ...
}
