service bean and DAO bean implementation in spring 3

This is my UserDAO bean defined in spring context

public class UserDAO{

  public boolean isUserAlreadyExists(User user){
     //some logic
  }

  public void createUser(User user){
     //logic to add user to database
  }

}

This is my spring service bean

@Component
@Transactional(readonly="true",propagation=Propation.SUPPORTD)
public class UserService{

   @Autowired
   UserDAO userDAO;

   public void createUser(User){
       if(!userDAO.isUserAlreadyExists(user)){
           userDAO.createUser(user);
       }
   }
}

should i call isUserAlreadyExists from within UserDAO.createUser like this

//UserDAO.java
public void createUser(User user){

  if(!isAlreadyUserExists(user)){
     //user adding to database
  }
}

OR

Above Service bean implementation is ok.

That logic seems like it should be in your service layer; as in the former example. Your createUser() function in the DAO should only have to worry about creating, or adding the user. Let the service layer worry about what to do if the User already exists.

Good read.
