TransactionSynchronization implementations can implement the Ordered interface to influence their execution order. A synchronization that does not implement the Ordered interface is appended to the end of the synchronization chain.

System synchronizations performed by Spring itself use specific order values, allowing for fine-grained interaction with their execution order (if necessary).

Implements the Ordered interface to enable the execution order of synchronizations to be controlled declaratively, as of 5.3. The default order is Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE , indicating late execution; return a lower value for earlier execution.

Default is Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE .

This callback does not mean that the transaction will actually be committed. A rollback decision can still occur after this method has been called. This callback is rather meant to perform work that's only relevant if a commit still has a chance to happen, such as flushing SQL statements to the database.

Note that exceptions will get propagated to the commit caller and cause a rollback of the transaction.

This method will be invoked after beforeCommit , even when beforeCommit threw an exception. This callback allows for closing resources before transaction completion, for any outcome.

Can e.g. commit further operations that are supposed to follow on a successful commit of the main transaction, like confirmation messages or emails.

NOTE: The transaction will have been committed already, but the transactional resources might still be active and accessible. As a consequence, any data access code triggered at this point will still "participate" in the original transaction, allowing to perform some cleanup (with no commit following anymore!), unless it explicitly declares that it needs to run in a separate transaction. Hence: Use PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW for any transactional operation that is called from here.
