How to track JTA transactions

[Srinivas Kothuri]

We have JTA transactions(Atomikos) configured using Spring annotations across different places in our application. I need to get trace logs whenever a transaction started and completed.

For example, whenever the below method invoked within a new transaction,

@Transactional
void createAgent() { ... }

I need to log a message saying

Transaction started on AgentFactory::createAgent() ...
Transaction ended on AgentFactory::createAgent() ...

Can you please provide if there is any way to enable trace logging on transactions?

Try enabling trace-level logging on package org.springframework.transaction.jta.

I'm usually more interested in other levels of the database operations, so I've never logged transactions, but there's log code in the JtaTransactionManager, so might as well try it.
