Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJPointcutAd visor

Hi,

I'm learning AOP concepts.

I had written a program using the AOP concepts.

I got the following exception.

Code:

---

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJPointcutAdvisor#0': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJMethodBeforeAdvice] while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'selectAll' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'selectAll': Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/aspectj/weaver/reflect/ReflectionWorld$ReflectionWorldException

Include the proper jars in your application...

Also why are you using annotations, those are useless as you are also using xml.. Use either one, not both.

K. I'm using XML schema based annotation.

Still i'm getting same exception.

You can find my pom file regarding Jar's i used.

You are mxing aspectj versions don't... Either use 1.6 or 1.5 don't mix both...

Huh?1 I don't get you... Either use the aspectj annotations and use aop:aspectj-autoproxy or don't use aspectj annotations and use xml...

i used the aspectj annotations and <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>.

still i'm getting the exception

Code:

---

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'student' defined in class path resource [Bean.xml]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Throwing argument name 'ex' was not bound in advice arguments

Can you refer my pom.xml and tell me weather i'm using correct jar's.

For AOP we need three jars, namely:

aspectjrt.jar, aspectjweaver.jar, aspectj.jar.

in my pom file i used them as follows:

No your not.. (Why do people never READ the stacktrace)... You have a different stacktrace and this indicates a problem with your pointcut binding (it expects a method argument named ex and it there isn't one)....
