Spring transaction propagation controls how transactions flow between service methods using the @Transactional annotation. Key propagation types include REQUIRED, REQUIRES_NEW, and NESTED. Each type serves different use cases: REQUIRED for default, all-or-nothing processes; REQUIRES_NEW for independent actions like logging; and NESTED for partial rollbacks. The guide also discusses transaction isolation levels, best practices, and common pitfalls.
