When does a transaction get commited (by default)?

I am writing a pretty small spring boot application, without any special transaction related properties. My REST controller calls save(myEntity) on the repository.

When will database transaction be committed?

Will it be committed

Example code dbtransaction/Application.java:

package dbtransaction;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import java.util.UUID;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/thing")
class ThingRestController {

    private ThingRepository thingRepository;

    public ThingRestController(ThingRepository thingRepository) {
        this.thingRepository = thingRepository;
    }

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public Thing createNew() {
        return thingRepository.save(new Thing());
    }
}

@Repository
interface ThingRepository extends JpaRepository<Thing, String> {
}

@Entity
class Thing {
    @Id
    public UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
}

Example pom pom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

When you commit depends on your transactional scope. In the code example you provided, you did not specify any transactional scope so it will default to your repository method; it will commit after your call thingRepository.save.

Note that the default implementation for JpaRepository is SimpleJpaRepository and if you look at that class, you'll see it annotates its save method with @Transactional. That, therefore, becomes your default boundary of your transaction. You can easily change your transactional scope by specifying @Transactional on an outer method.
