I have spent a few days to resolve the problem you are talking about on a web application using transaction annotations.
Your tip helped me to solve it, I have just copied my annotation declaration in my -servlet.xml and the transactions works.
The problem is that I have two different spring contexts working. And as I had declared my services also with annotations @Service and @Component I had to declare also in my -servlet.xml the configuration

So finally I got two instances of my services, This is quite disturbing when you are supposed to have singleton.
Have you got another tip to solve that. Is this what Oskar is talking about when he reinjects the application context in the request? How Can I do It?

Well, I actually found a way around my problem mentioned above by using a filter and loading the root context in the filter, setting it as request attribute and then using beans from there. If anyone needs help, write to me at gautamgd at gmail

This info was really useful. But, if I want to use dependency injection between the controller (defined in webapplication context) and the root context, how do I do it? I am using PPC in my root context to load properties in beans. Kind of stuck here.

Really struggled to find a concise explanation of why this was the case with the PPC. This explains it well. Thank you.
