Is using Transaction management mandatory while performing operations with db in Spring Hibernate?

[shivang sarawagi]

I went through Spring transaction management. I have a very simple question assume in a banking application with Spring Hibernate Integration
is it mandatory to use @Transactional on credit & debit methods. If I don't want a rollback still do I have to put the methods in a transaction scope??

I sure would hope you would want to roll back for that You can set the rollback strategy on the @Transactional annotation, so if you do not want a rollback to it there.

@Transactional(noRollbackFor = RuntimeException.class)

Database operations require transactions. Even if you do not create one the database will create one around that single operation. When this is the case with writes people use autocommit= true. I do not recommend this. I would always use a transaction in your spring code on any operation that writes to the database.
