Spring nested transaction marked as rollbackonly with unchecked exception
===

I am fairly new to Spring and transactions. I am sure this question has been asked before, but I still cannot figure the correct way to go about it.

I am using Spring and hibernate. I have a service method that goes like this:

    @Transactional
    public void processPendingReport(Report report) {
      try {
        // Do processing stuff, update report object state
        reportDAO.save(report);
      } catch (Exception e) {
        reportDAO.markReportAsFailed(report);
      }
    }

If a RuntimeException occurs during processing, a "Transaction marked as rollbackOnly" RollbackException will be thrown, having as a result that the report will not be marked as failed (although I would like it to be).

I have tried using @Transactional(noRollbackFor=Exception.class), but still get the same issue.. Any suggestions? Could it be a configuration issue?
