Hi Jeroen, The problem is that I am not a big fan of services layer. Sometimes it looks very anemic to me. But I totally agree with you when you say the action should not know about persistence problems, and that's why I want to do it via AOP.
I had the same thought about the problem: the Spring proxy does not work properly with all the magic Struts2 and Reflection do! I tried to open a bug in the Struts2 JIRA, but they closed it and said that it works. I think it should be some kind of spring or struts configuration I am not doing right. Thanks in advance, Mauricio On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 11:22 PM, Jeroen De Ridder <voetsjo...@gmail.com>wrote: > You really shouldn't be making your Struts 2 actions @Transactional.
