For read operations, the transaction configuration `readOnly` flag is set to `true`.
All others are configured with a plain `@Transactional` so that default transaction configuration applies.
Repository methods that are backed by transactional repository fragments inherit the transactional attributes from the actual fragment method.

=== Transactional query methods
To let your query methods be transactional, use `@Transactional` at the repository interface you define, as shown in the following example:
Declared query methods (including default methods) do not get any transaction configuration applied by default.
To run those methods transactionally, use `@Transactional` at the repository interface you define, as shown in the following example:
