While using dev mode of GWT in Jetbrains IDEA, which runs jetty, I need to use spring instrumentation.
Default parameter -javaagent:spring-instrumentation.jar didn't work for me.
To run it wit Jetty you are to add additional parameter -Xbootclasspath. The final string:
-javaagent:/spring-instrument-3.2.0.RELEASE.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:spring-instrument-3.2.0.RELEASE.jar


Thanks to this:

jaxws @Webservice and @Transactional

The magic is:
<tx:annotation-driven mode="aspectj"/>
