Does Spring close connection after committing transaction?

spring, spring-transactions, transactions

Solution

Spring calls `close()` when the transaction finishes which could be from either a commit or rollback. Whether or not `close()` actually closes a real JDBC connection depends on the `DataSource` configuration. If it's a plain JDBC connection, then it will actually close. If it is a connection pool then it will probably just be returned to the pool on close.

Problem

I've recently read in one tutorial that Spring closes connection after transaction commit. Is that true? I can't find anything about it in the Spring reference documentation. What's the rationale behind it? Since now, I thought that there is a one-to-many relation between connection and transactions.
