众所周知传播级别有七种，其实就是是否需要事务嵌套，是否开启新事务
事务的本质其实就是开启了数据库的一个连接
也就是一个session,咱们的事务开启执行是在标上的注解方法里，当执行这个方法时会通过动态代理去进行数据库连接的开启
通过源码看一眼
AbstractPlatformTransactionManager

    @Override
    public final TransactionStatus getTransaction(@Nullable TransactionDefinition definition)
            throws TransactionException {

        // Use defaults if no transaction definition given.
        TransactionDefinition def = (definition != null ? definition : TransactionDefinition.withDefaults());

        Object transaction = doGetTransaction();
        boolean debugEnabled = logger.isDebugEnabled();

        if (isExistingTransaction(transaction)) {
            // Existing transaction found -> check propagation behavior to find out how to behave.
            return handleExistingTransaction(def, transaction, debugEnabled);
        }
      //...
      }

如果事务方法调用了另一个，就会走handleExistingTransaction

private TransactionStatus handleExistingTransaction(
            TransactionDefinition definition, Object transaction, boolean debugEnabled)
            throws TransactionException {

        if (definition.getPropagationBehavior() == TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_NEVER) {
            throw new IllegalTransactionStateException(
                    "Existing transaction found for transaction marked with propagation 'never'");
        }

        if (definition.getPropagationBehavior() == TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
            if (debugEnabled) {
                logger.debug("Suspending current transaction");
            }
            Object suspendedResources = suspend(transaction);
            boolean newSynchronization = (getTransactionSynchronization() == SYNCHRONIZATION_ALWAYS);
            return prepareTransactionStatus(
                    definition, null, false, newSynchronization, debugEnabled, suspendedResources);
        }

        if (definition.getPropagationBehavior() == TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW) {
            if (debugEnabled) {
                logger.debug("Suspending current transaction, creating new transaction with name [" +
                        definition.getName() + "]");
            }
            SuspendedResourcesHolder suspendedResources = suspend(transaction);
            try {
                return startTransaction(definition, transaction, debugEnabled, suspendedResources);
            }
            catch (RuntimeException | Error beginEx) {
                resumeAfterBeginException(transaction, suspendedResources, beginEx);
                throw beginEx;
            }
        }

        if (definition.getPropagationBehavior() == TransactionDefinition.PROPAGATION_NESTED) {
            if (!isNestedTransactionAllowed()) {
                throw new NestedTransactionNotSupportedException(
                        "Transaction manager does not allow nested transactions by default - " +
                        "specify 'nestedTransactionAllowed' property with value 'true'");
            }
            if (debugEnabled) {
                logger.debug("Creating nested transaction with name [" + definition.getName() + "]");
            }
            if (useSavepointForNestedTransaction()) {
                // Create savepoint within existing Spring-managed transaction,
                // through the SavepointManager API implemented by TransactionStatus.
                // Usually uses JDBC 3.0 savepoints. Never activates Spring synchronization.
                DefaultTransactionStatus status =
                        prepareTransactionStatus(definition, transaction, false, false, debugEnabled, null);
                status.createAndHoldSavepoint();
                return status;
            }
            else {
                // Nested transaction through nested begin and commit/rollback calls.
                // Usually only for JTA: Spring synchronization might get activated here
                // in case of a pre-existing JTA transaction.
                return startTransaction(definition, transaction, debugEnabled, null);
            }
        }

        // Assumably PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS or PROPAGATION_REQUIRED.
        if (debugEnabled) {
            logger.debug("Participating in existing transaction");
        }
        if (isValidateExistingTransaction()) {
            if (definition.getIsolationLevel() != TransactionDefinition.ISOLATION_DEFAULT) {
                Integer currentIsolationLevel = TransactionSynchronizationManager.getCurrentTransactionIsolationLevel();
                if (currentIsolationLevel == null || currentIsolationLevel != definition.getIsolationLevel()) {
                    Constants isoConstants = DefaultTransactionDefinition.constants;
                    throw new IllegalTransactionStateException("Participating transaction with definition [" +
                            definition + "] specifies isolation level which is incompatible with existing transaction: " +
                            (currentIsolationLevel != null ?
                                    isoConstants.toCode(currentIsolationLevel, DefaultTransactionDefinition.PREFIX_ISOLATION) :
                                    "(unknown)"));
                }
            }
            if (!definition.isReadOnly()) {
                if (TransactionSynchronizationManager.isCurrentTransactionReadOnly()) {

        return prepareTransactionStatus(definition, transaction, false, newSynchronization, debugEnabled, null);
    }

注意看PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW，nest的不用看
里面会调用startTransaction

如果是嵌套进来的新事务则会走startTransaction的
Connection newCon = obtainDataSource().getConnection();
如果不是新事务就用当前的连接，也就是使用了同一个session

和正常使用begin commit直连数据库开启事务差不多，这个事务之间的传播和隔离级别有关系
直观一点在默认情况下，我们正常使用require插入一条数据，同时去调用一个require_new的方法，查不到
