I use annotations to mark methods which should be executed in a transaction.

But, in one place I need to do transactionManager.rollback() manually, without annotation. How can I obtain transactionManager object?

If you want to rollback the current transaction, you may use

    TransactionAspectSupport.currentTransactionStatus().setRollbackOnly();

Note that it doesn't rollback the transaction immediately - it sets the "rollback only" status, so transaction will be rolled back during attempt to commit.

Otherwise, if you need a programmatic transaction demaracation, you may use TransactionTemplate, as described in 10.6 Programmatic transaction management.

Also you can obtain an instance of PlatformTransactionManager, but it's not widely used since TransactionTemplate is a recommended approach for programmatic transaction demaracation.
