在Spring的核心配置文件applicationContext.xml中配置事务，主要配置三大方面：事务管理器、事务通知和定义事务性切面。
代码如下：
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"

</tx:attributes>
</tx:advice>
<!-- 定义事务性切面 -->
<aop:config>
<aop:advisor advice-ref="txAdvice"

</aop:config>
</beans>
