neo4j - ant -aspectj - the method persist() is undefined

[bootlaces]

Hi,

Java 1.7u01
Spring 3.0.6
Neo4j 1.5
Spring Data Neo4j 2.0.0.RC1

I'm trying to compile a simple class:

@NodeEntity
public class Person {

    @Indexed
    private String id; 

    public String getId() {
        return id; 
    }   

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id; 
    }   
}

I have a little controller that persists:

@Controller("saveController")
public class SaveControllerImpl {

    @ResponseBody
    @RequestMapping(value = "/ktt")
    public Map ofir(@PathVariable final Long id) {

        Person person = new Person();
        person.setId("ktt");
        person.persist();

        return Collections.singletonMap("key", "val7");
    }   
}

I have this set as my ant target:

    <target name="aspectj" unless="skip.aspectj" description="Compiles classes in the src directory.">
        <taskdef classpathref="build.all.classpath" resource="org/aspectj/tools/ant/taskdefs/aspectjTaskdefs.properties" />
        <iajc debug="true" deprecation="false" nowarn="true" sourceroots="${src.dir}" destDir="${build.tmp.dir}" classpathref="build.classpath" source="1.6" showWeaveInfo="true" target="1.6" >
            <aspectpath>
                <pathelement location="${libs.dir}/runtime/spring-aspects-${spring.version}.jar"/>
            </aspectpath>
            <aspectpath>
                <pathelement location="${libs.dir}/runtime/spring-data-neo4j-${spring.data.neo4j.version}.jar"/>
            </aspectpath>
        </iajc>
    </target>

However, when I come to compile the src, I am repeatingly getting this error in compliation:

aspectj:
     [iajc] error at person.persist();
     [iajc]

Thanks - greatly appreciated

I had the very same issue using maven instead.
I think you should wave aspects into spring-data-neo4j-aspects-${spring.data.neo4j.version}.jar

Doing that I managed to compile my tests with injected methods like persist().

( unfortunately I can't say the same thing for build with eclipse )
