Spring makes it easier for us to leverage AOP(Aspect Oriented programming) and does not pollute our business logic with DB Transaction, security, caching, logging etc. Before diving into the nitty-gritties of <strong>@Transactional</strong>, lets start with what are proxy objects and how does Spring makes use of it for <strong>@Transactional</strong></p> <h2 id="what-is-a-proxy-and-how-does-spring-uses-it-under-the-hood">What is a proxy and how does Spring uses it under the hood?</h2> <p>Proxy acts like a substitute for the given object. It acts as a middleman and when any client calls a method on an object, proxy object appears and acts on behalf of that object and performs any kind of action before/after method invocation.</p>
