Description

It's nice to get semi-automatic repositories from DeltaSpike Data, but these repositories would be even more fun if they were transactional, not necessarily by default, but at least by simple configuration.

Possible approaches:

1) Add @Transactional to an abstract repository class, i.e. javax.transaction.Transactional in Java EE 7, or org.apache.deltaspike.jpa.api.transaction.Transactional otherwise.

Currently, this does not work due to DELTASPIKE-419.

2) Make it easy to override the @Repository binding or the query handler, to add transactional behaviour.
