java spring transactional

I configured spring with transactional support. Is there any way to log transactions just to ensure I set up everything correctly? Showing in the log is a good way to see what is happening.

in your log4j.properties (for alternative loggers, or log4j's xml format, check the docs)

Depending on your transaction manager, you can set the logging level of the spring framework so that it gives you more info about transactions. For example, in case of using JpaTransactionManager, you set

log4j.logger.org.springframework.orm.jpa=INFO

(this is the package of the your transaction manager), and also

log4j.logger.org.springframework.transaction=INFO

If INFO isn't enough, use DEBUG
