Move synchronization point creation just before transaction begins to enable routing datasources to act on transaction definition [SPR-16876]

[spring-projects-issues]

Kaan Ozdokmeci opened SPR-16876 and commented

In org.springframework.transaction.support.AbstractPlatformTransactionManager#getTransactionmethod,

the synchronization point is created after the transaction is created and a connection is attached to it via the doBegin method.

Having the synchronization point created afterwards prevents the ability to utilize an AbstractRoutingDatasource that is able to pick between read-only and read-write datasources for the transaction by inspecting 

org.springframework.transaction.support.TransactionSynchronizationManager#isCurrentTransactionReadOnly

when determining the appropriate datasource.

 

Is there any reason not to move synchronization point creation before the doBegin method so that routing datasources can act on the transaction definition?

If not happy to send a PR.
