spring - @Async and @Transactional: not working

Question

Please see code.

1. When I called the method @Async loadMarkUpPCT(), data is NOT committed into the table. It behaves as if it's non-tractional.

2. When I removed @Async from loadMarkUpPCT (Class 1), i.e. non-async, then data is committed and OK as expected: transactional)

I was expecting to have the same result with @Async and @Transactional but it's NOT. Please explain or what did I do wrong?

Edited: I just edited to post the code + log

Flow-wise: AppDataLoaderController calls AppDataLoaderService calls DataMigrationService calls JpaDataMigrationDao

package concepts.web.rest.resource.spring.impl;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/appdataloader")
public class AppDataLoaderController {

    @RequestMapping("/loadMarkupPct")
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)    
    public void loadMarkUpPCT() {
        try {
            this.appDataLoaderService.loadMarkUpPCT();
        } catch (ServiceException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }



package concepts.service.impl;  

@Service("appDataLoaderService")
public class AppDataLoaderServiceImpl implements AppDataLoaderService {

    @Async
    @Override       
    public void loadMarkUpPCT() throws ServiceException {
        logger.debug("@Async loadMarkUpPCT");       
        dataMigrationService.loadMarkUpPCT();
    }   


package concepts.service.impl;

@Service
@Scope("prototype")
public class DataMigrationServiceImpl implements DataMigrationService {

    @Override
    public void loadMarkUpPCT() throws ServiceException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Assert.notNull(markUpPCTDataLoader);
        List<MarkUpPCT> markUpPCTs=markUpPCTDataLoader.getMarkupCoef();
        for (MarkUpPCT markUpPCT: markUpPCTs)
            dataMigrationDao.storeMarkUpPCT(markUpPCT);
    }


package concepts.persistence.impl.jpa;

@Repository
public class JpaDataMigrationDao extends DataMigrationDaoAdapter{
    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Transactional
    @Override
    public void storeMarkUpPCT(MarkUpPCT markUpPCT) {
        entityManager.persist(markUpPCT);

    }

Answer 1

Try to also annotate the loadMarkUpPCT() method with @Transactional and tell us if that worked.
