expertTransaction Manager Internals
Why would you use afterCommit() instead of just putting an email send at the end of a @Transactional method?
Code at the "end" of the method still runs before the proxy's actual commit — if the commit itself then fails, an email may have already been sent for a transaction that didn't actually persist; afterCommit() guarantees the callback only fires once the commit has genuinely succeeded.
