I recently started using Kotlins Result in my Springboot Kotlin project.
One thing I realised it that it doesnt work together with Springs @Transactional annotation since we are wrapping errors in a Result.failure object rather than throwing them.

A bit of googling only lead me to a really old github issue:
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/27323
where they deemed it not popular enough to integrate with spring..

Is there any decent workaround to this problem?

Besides injecting a transactionManager into any service that needs transaction management and manually rolling back like so:

 fun upsert(): Result<Unit> {
    val transactionTemplate = TransactionTemplate(transactionManager)
    return transactionTemplate.execute { status ->
      Result.catch {
    
    multiple db operations here

}
        .onFailure { status.setRollbackOnly() }
    }!!
  }
