Yes, it is possible to store an entity in the exception catch block when using JPA Hibernate with @Transactional annotation. One way to achieve this is by having a try-catch block inside the @Transactional method and storing the entity in the catch block if an exception occurs. For example:

@Transactional
public void saveEntity(Entity entity) {
    try {
        entityManager.persist(entity);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // handle exception
        entityManager.persist(entity);
    }
}

In this example, if an exception occurs during the persistence of the entity, it is caught in the catch block and the entity is persisted again. This ensures that the entity is always persisted, even if an exception occurs. However, it's important to note that this approach may not always be appropriate, depending on the specific use case and requirements.
