@Transactional for any Exceptions in Spring

I am looking using @Transactional on one of the Service methods. However when an exception occurs, the transaction is not getting rolled back. I tried the same with @Transactional(rollbackFor=Exception.class). My code as follows:-

    @Override
    @Transactional(rollbackFor=Throwable.class)
    public boolean addUser(User user) throws Exception{
        boolean userAdded = userDao.addUser(user);                  
        boolean userRegistrationRecorded = userDao.recordUserRegistraionDetails(user);      
        return true;
    }

I read lot of posts and every one says that Spring handles only RuntimeExceptions and not checked Exceptions other than RmiException. I need a solution that works for any kind of Exception. Some one suggested me to write own annotation, where as others suggested of having a TransactionManager as part of applicationContext.xml file. A detailed solution will definitely help me.

By the way I am using Spring JdbcTemplate. The strange thing I observe is though the Exceptions raised by Spring are RuntimeExceptions the transaction is not getting rolled back. I am trying to raise an Exception by adding the same User in the above scenario.

My applicationContext.xml is as follows:-

<context:component-scan base-package="org.chaperone.services.security.*" />

    <context:annotation-config />

    <bean id="transactionManager"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="propertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
        class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
        <property name="searchSystemEnvironment" value="true" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="dataSource"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
        <property name="url" value="${DATABASE_URL}" />
        <property name="username" value="${DATABASE_USER_NAME}" />
        <property name="password" value="${DATABASE_PASSWORD}" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="jdbcTemplate" class="org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    </bean>

The ease-of-use afforded by the use of the @Transactional annotation is best illustrated in this link

you have to add :

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
