This sample project demonstrates how a Spring Boot application deployed to a Liberty JVM server can use different techniques to integrate with CICS transactions. The application uses a web browser front end and makes use of the Java™ Transaction API (JTA). The three techniques demonstrated are: Java EE User Transaction, Spring's @Transactional annotation, and the Spring Transaction Template.
Select the branch for your target environment:
| Spring Boot | Branch | Min Java | Jakarta EE | Build Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.x | springboot/v4 | 21 | EE 11 |  |
|
| 3.x | springboot/v3 | 17 | EE 10 |  |
All branches target CICS TS V6.1 or later.
⚠️ Thespringboot/v4branch is a work-in-progress preview. It targets Spring Boot 4.x and Jakarta EE 11, which requires Libertyservlet-6.1support — not yet available in CICS TS. It is not yet recommended for use.
