Using @transactional on an event handler

[cer]

Does anyone know if you can use @transactional on an event handler, seeing that even though it is a spring bean it is not honoring the spring proxied class

[cer]

EventHandlerBeanPostProcessor is responsible for subscribing event handlers beans.
It does this in a postProcessBeforeInitialization() method.
This method appears to be passed the original object rather than a Spring AOP proxy.
As a result, Spring AOP (e.g. transaction management) cannot currently be used with @EventSubscribers.

The solution is two fold:

1. Use postProcessAfterInitialization()
2. Handle being passed a Spring AOP proxy - look for @EventHandler method on the superclass?
