Problems to set up an annotation based pointcut with Spring3 and Aspectj 1.6

[jelramzy]

Hi All,

well i am experiencing real troubles to test an AspectJ annotated poincut to work on Spring 3.
The goal is to create a poincut that deals with methods annotated with a given customized annotation.

Here is the annotation (simple one really)


@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface MyAnnotation {
    String name();
}

Here is my Aspect @Aspect

@Aspect
public class MyPoinCut {

@Pointcut(value = "execution (@MyAnnotation  * *.*(..))")
    public void anyTaskToPerform() {
        /*  do domething */
}


@Around("anyTaskToPerform()")
    public Object performCallWhenException(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
        /* do something here too */
}}

Now, here is my main class including the annotation in its methods:


public class SomeJob {
 
  @MyAnnotation
  public letsdoit(){
  /* business */
  }

}

Ii have just a unit test calling the letsdoit method of the SomeJob class, nothing special!

The problem is that it seems that the expression given to the poincut seem to be wrong and i don't know how to fix it , thus,  my pointcut is just ignored and never called !!

can i have some help please?

Thanks

Is your annotation in a package by any chance?  In annotation style
pointcuts (@Pointcut) you need to fully qualify type names.  I only
say this because your pointcut looks OK.

Are you using SpringAOP to wire it up right now or just testing by
having it all in an AspectJ project? (Under AJDT in eclipse)

I am using Spring AOP actually ( Spring 3) and Aspectj 1.6.10.

Yes, my annotation is in a package and i tried to put the full path of my annotation and still get the same weired behaviour!

[jelramzy]

the problem is that i get the following error when i try to test the pointcut:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 formal unbound in pointcut

even when i put the full path to the annotation

[Andy Clement]

Perhaps we need to look at the exact text of your failing program.
The error you mention suggests you are referring to a parameter in
your advice that is not bound in the pointcut, like this:

   public Object performCallWhenException(ProceedingJoinPoint
joinPoint,Object o) throws Throwable {

that produces the error you are seeing.  But in the code above you
aren't using anything other than ProceedingJoinPoint.  If you have a
complete mini project that shows the problem, I'm sure we can get it
sorted.

cheers
