• [JPA + Spring Mastery 07] Spring AOP self-invocation — the real reason @Transactional doesn't work, decomposed down to TransactionInterceptor.invoke 6 stages

  4 May, 2026

  In an optimistic-lock measurement, successes=100 but balance stays at 100. The code logic was fine — the cause was a same-class call bypassing Spring AOP's proxy, so @Transactional never fired and flush never happened. This article decomposes the 6 stages of TransactionInterceptor.invoke, the line in MethodInvocation.proceed() that calls the raw target, the 6 annotations sharing the same trap (@Async / @Cacheable / @Validated / @Retryable / @PreAuthorize), and 4 workarounds (separate bean / getBean(self) / AopContext.currentProxy / AspectJ weaving), citing Spring 6 / Hibernate 6 source line-by-line.
