Setting Up Annotation Driven Transactions in Spring in @Configuration Class

Question

So in the latest version of Spring we are able to use the @Configuration annotation to setup our configurations for Spring. Now in JavaConfig it is possible to use the @AnnotationDrivenTx (@AnnotationDrivenTx Reference Link) annotation to setup transactions in our Config class. But since JavaConfig has been decommissioned I was wondering if anyone knew how to setup something similar without JavaConfig and without needing to add anything to the application-context.xml. Here is what I basically have for my Config class

@Configuration
@ImportResource("config/application-context.xml")
public class Config {

     public @Bean DataSource dataSource() {
           //get and return datasource
     }

     public @Bean Service1 getService1() {
          //return service1Impl
     }
}

And I'd like to make Service1 transactional. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this or if this is just not possible please let me know.

Thanks!

You can now use @EnableTransactionManagement.
