How to check if a Spring @Transactional method is actually running in a transaction?

You can use TransactionSynchronizationManager to check this at runtime: public class MyService { @Transactional public void doSomething() { boolean isActive = TransactionSynchronizationManager.isActualTransactionActive(); System.out.println("Transaction active: " + isActive); // true } } If @Transactional is working correctly, isActualTransactionActive() returns true. Note: make sure you're calling this method through a Spring proxy (i.e. from another bean), not from within the same class — otherwise @Transactional won't work at all./
