Annotation Type TransactionalEventListener

@EventListener
 @Target(value={METHOD,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
public @interface TransactionalEventListener

An EventListener that is invoked according to a TransactionPhase.

If the event is not published within the boundaries of a managed transaction, the event is discarded unless the fallbackExecution() flag is explicitly set. If a transaction is running, the event is processed according to its TransactionPhase.

Adding @Order on your annotated method allows you to prioritize that listener amongst other listeners running in the same phase.
