title: the scope of spring configuration xml files on different maven modules
body: <p>Example:
  I have two Maven modules, module A contains the DAO classes for accessing the database and the module B is the service which depence on module A and provides methods for accessing the data.</p>
  
  <p>The XML file in module A activates Spring to use the annotation driven transactions:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>does that mean i can use the transaction annotations (@Transactional) in module B?? How can i see that the annotations are not just ignored ?</p>
  
  <p>thanx in advance</p>
