Roo Solr Addon Problem

[chrisharm]

Hello all,
This is my first Project working with Roo. I am trying to perform a simple integration with Apache Solr to index my data. I'm using the solr addon that comes packaged with Roo, and I've been following the documentation as listed on the Spring Roo documentation pages. I've stripped down my code at a very simple example, but I'm unable to get a simple example working.

Here are my versions:

    <properties>
        <aspectj.version>1.6.12</aspectj.version>
        <java.version>1.6</java.version>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <roo.version>1.2.1.RELEASE</roo.version>
        <slf4j.version>1.6.4</slf4j.version>
        <spring.version>3.1.0.RELEASE</spring.version>
    </properties>

I've created a simple domain object that I want to add to the SOLR index:

@RooJavaBean
@RooToString
@RooJpaActiveRecord
@RooSolrSearchable
public class MyObject {

    private String name;

    private String description;

    private String example;

    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @DateTimeFormat(style = "M-")
    private Date birthday;

    private Boolean valid;
}

Roo creates the MyObject_Roo_SolrSearch.aj ITD just fine. However when I run the application, I get an exception when trying to create a new MyObject instance...

Internal Error

Sorry, we encountered an internal error.

I looked into the exception a little and found this link: http://olafsblog.sysbsb.de/why-confi...he-same-class/ It appears that there is some type of conflict between the @Configurable and the @Transaction annotations. Does this also apply to the @Async annotations.

When I move the indexMyObjects(Collection<MyObject> myobjects) and the deleteIndex(MyObject myObject) methods into my domain object and remove the @Async annotation, everything works fine. (Except for the fact that the SOLR indexing is now done in the same request thread.) I would like to know why the @Async annotation on the method doesn't seem to work correct?
