How to manually force a commit in a @Transactional method? [duplicate]

I had a similar use case during testing hibernate event listeners which are only called on commit.

The solution was to wrap the code to be persistent into another method annotated with REQUIRES_NEW. (In another class) This way a new transaction is spawned and a flush/commit is issued once the method returns.

Tx prop REQUIRES_NEW

Keep in mind that this might influence all the other tests! So write them accordingly or you need to ensure that you can clean up after the test ran.
