29  * Marking a method {@code @Transactional} will start a new transaction before the method
30  * executes and commit it after the method returns.
31  * <p>
32  * If the method throws an exception, the transaction will be rolled back <em>unless</em>

34  * <p>
35  * Similarly, the set of exceptions that will trigger a rollback can be defined in
36  * the {@link #rollbackOn()} clause. By default, only unchecked exceptions trigger a
37  * rollback.
