@Configurable no longer working for me

After I reinstalled Eclipse and upgraded all the tools, plugs, and dependencies, for some reason, load-time weaving in collaboration with `@Configurable' no longer works for me.

This is my test class:

Code:

---

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration
public class ConfigurableTest {
    @Configurable
    public static class MyConfigurable {
        @Resource
        ApplicationContext context;
    }
   
    @Test
    public void testConfigurable() {
        MyConfigurable conf = new MyConfigurable();
        assertThat(conf.context, not(nil()));
    }
}

---

This is `ConfigurableTest-context.xml':

Code:

---

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
        xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
        xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
        xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd

                http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd">
    <context:load-time-weaver/>
    <context:spring-configured/>
</beans>

JVM args when running the test are `-javaagent:spring-instrument-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar'. In addition, I use AspectJ version 1.6.12.

The test fails---`conf.context' remains `null'.

So what am I missing?

I just managed to further narrow down the problem. It is when I switch from Spring 3.0.7.RELEASE to 3.1.0.RELEASE that my test breaks and @Configurable doesn't do what I expect it to do. The AspectJ version doesn't matter.

What has changed in Spring 3.1 with respect to load-time weaving and @Configurable? Am I missing a new configuration setting?

Well, 87 views and no reply---that's kind of disappointing. :)

While I was switching from XML-based configurations to the new stylish annotations anyway, I found an example in the Javadoc of @EnableLoadTimeWeaving that solved my problem:

Code:

---

@EnableSpringConfigured
@Configuration
@EnableLoadTimeWeaving(aspectjWeaving = AspectJWeaving.ENABLED)
public static class Config {}

---

The assignment to aspectjWeaving is important there. So maybe there is a new attribute for <context:load-time-weaver/> now. I haven't looked into this because my problem vanished anyway.

Thanks for reading. :)
