Since the programmer is forced to catch all checked exception, I to throw checked exception in case of any problem. I would like to rollback on any of those expections. Writing rollbackFor=Exception.class
on every @Transactional
annotation is very error-prone, so I would like to tell spring, that: "whenever I write @Transactional
, I mean @Transactional(rollbackFor=Exception.class)
".
I know, that I could create a custom annotation, but that seems unnatural.
So is there a way to tell spring how it should handle checked excpetions globally?

No, this is exactly the use case for a Custom Annotation. Here's a quote from Custom Shortcut Annotations in the Spring Reference:
If you find you are repeatedly using the same attributes with @Transactional on many different methods, then Spring's meta-annotation support allows you to define custom shortcut annotations for your specific use cases.
And here's a sample annotation for your use case:
@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Transactional(rollbackFor=Exception.class)
public @interface MyAnnotation {
}
Now annotate your services and / or methods with @MyAnnotation
(you'll think of a better name). This is well-tested functionality that works by default. Why re-invent the wheel?
