Unable to set document expiry inside Couchbase transactions with Spring Data 3.x using upsert/withExpiry

Java SDK
1

Context
I’m migrating to Spring 3.x and using Couchbase transactions for atomic updates. I need to set a TTL/expiry on documents as part of the transactional upsert, but it appears that setting expiry within a transaction is either disallowed in Spring Data 3.x.

Environment

  • Couchbase Server: Enterprise Edition 7.2.5

  • Java: 21

  • Spring Boot: 3.5.9

  • Couchbase Client: 3.5.3

What I’m trying to do
Within a transaction, upsert a document and set its expiry based on a calculated duration:

Java

return repository.getOperations()

.upsertById(MyDomainClass.class)

.withExpiry(calculateDurationFromNow(getDateTime(domainObjectExpiryTime)))

.one(myDomainObject);

Questions

  1. Is setting document expiry inside transactions supported by Couchbase when using Spring Data Couchbase 3.x?

  2. If not supported, is there a recommended pattern to apply TTL atomically with transactional writes (e.g., post-commit mutation, separate non-transactional write, or using a different operation)?

  3. Are there configuration flags or SDK-level calls that enable expiry within transactions?

Thanks!
