Does Spring @Transactional attribute work on a private method?

by

If I have a @Transactional -annotation on a private method in a Spring bean, does the annotation have any effect?

If the @Transactional annotation is on a public method, it works and open a transaction.

public class Bean {
  public void doStuff() {
     doPrivateStuff();
  }
  @Transactional
  private void doPrivateStuff() {

  }
}

...

Bean bean = (Bean)appContext.getBean("bean");
bean.doStuff();
