I'm getting my feet wet with Spring. I downloaded STS and I'm following basic examples from Spring in Action Second Edition. I'm stuck when trying to implement basic AOP and I guess I'm just missing some specific libraries in my project.
I say so because annotations like @Aspect
are not recognized in my classes like also <aop:config>
in my xml.
This are my Maven Dependencies:
Please let me know what libraries I'm missing and where to find them.
Thank you!
EDIT:
The following:
<bean id="performancePointcut"
class="org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJExpressionPointcut" >
<property name="expression" value="execution(* Performer+.perform(..))" />
</bean>
throws the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'performancePointcut' defined in file [C:\Users\Prova\Documents\STS\SpringIdol3\src\main\resources\META-INF\spring\spring-idol.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/aspectj/weaver/reflect/ReflectionWorld$ReflectionWorldException
DONE!
This aspectj-annotation-tutorial did the job with steps 1, 2, and 3.
It's been a fun Friday night....
Put these two dependencies in your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
<version>1.6.11</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
<version>1.6.11</version>
</dependency>
