need help in this first aop pointcut

[chen0572054]

Hi I'm trying to implement Pointcut but the Application context automatically destroies itself I have no idea why.

I have this MyInterceptor.java to set the Pointcut

@Aspect
public class MyInterceptor {
	@Pointcut("execution (* spring.service.impl.PersonServiceBean.*(..))")
	private void anyMethod() {}	

	@Before("anyMethod()")
	public void doAccessCheck() 
	{
		System.out.println("before advice");
	}

}

Any my beans2.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
       xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd">
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy></aop:aspectj-autoproxy>
	
<bean id="personService" class="spring.service.impl.PersonServiceBean"></bean>

<bean id="myInterceptor" class="spring.service.MyInterceptor"></bean>

</beans>

Any my junit test file:

public class SpringAOPTest {

	@BeforeClass
	public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
	}

	@Test
	public void interceptorTest() {
		
		ApplicationContext cxt;
		
		cxt = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans2.xml");
		PersonService personService = (PersonService)cxt.getBean("personService");
		
		personService.save();
	}

}

myPersonServiceBean has a save method which just prints a line just for testing.
the console output is:

Apr 04, 2012 2:08:12 PM org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext prepareRefresh

usually it will just stop at Pre-instantiating..... but now it destroySingletons right after it is initiated. I have tested a little but since I'm new to this, I have completely no idea what went wrong. Can somebody help! Thank you in advace

Hi,

have you tried putting some system outs inside the person service itself? Do these get printed when you execute the test?
I'm asking this because I don't think there's any error that prevents the Spring startup. My guess is that the app context is regularly created, then the test execution ends and the app context gets regularly destroyed.
First thing to point out is that this is not the way to use JUnit with Spring. You should read the unit testing with Spring chapter in the reference guide and do something like this:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"classpath:beans2.xml"})
public class SpringAOPTest
{
        @Autowired
	private PersonServiceInterface service;

	@Test
	public void testSave()
	{
		service.save();
	}
}

And your PersonServiceBean should implement the PersonServiceInterface where the save() method is declared.
Second thing to point out is, like you've done it aop isn't going to work because beans you get by programmatically calling context.getBean don't get directly proxied, so no Spring aop.

I hope this was helpful.
