/**
 * Meta-annotation Spring.

 * @see Transactional
 */
@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Transactional(transactionManager = "transactionManagerCustom")
public @interface TransactionalCustom {

    @AliasFor(annotation = Transactional.class, attribute = "readOnly")
    boolean readOnly() default false;

}

@TransactionalCustom is a meta-annotation for @Transactional.

The readOnly attribute from @Transactional is redeclared to allow its use directly from @TransactionalCustom.
