Pointcut methods

[AndrosM]

Good Day People!!

I'm learning spring aop and I have problems with the @Pointcut().

I want to print out the results based in the Aspect Class. Print The get methods of the Circle or Triangle and the ShapeService class.

*********************************
Advice run. Get Method called
Second Advice executed
Advice run. Get Method called
Second Advice executed
Triangle Name or Circle Name
*********************************

But this is the error I have

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'triangle' defined in class path resource [spring.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 can't find referenced pointcut allGetters

So the question is what is the problem???
I search in the internet similiar problems of referenced pointcut allGetters and they said: "it was the .jars
aspectjrt-1.6.12.jar and aspectjweaver-1.6.12.jar change to 1.5 and the AspectJ has a bug.

I have this jars in the project and I'm using Spring 3.0.5

aopalliance.jar
cglib-2.2.2.jar
asm-3.3.1.jar
aspectjrt-1.5.4.jar
aspectjweaver-1.5.4.jar

thanks for the help

[CODE]

This is the Aspect Class

@Aspect
public class LoggingAspect {

@Before("allGetters()")
public void LoggingAdvice(){
System.out.println("Advice run. Get Method called ");
}

@Before("allGetters()")
public void secondAdvice(){
System.out.println("Second Advice executed ");
}

@Pointcut("execution(public String getName())")
public void allGetters() {}

}

this is the Shape Service

    public class ShapeService {  
      
        private Circle circle;  
        private Triangle triangle;  
          
        public Circle getCircle() {  
            return circle;  
        }  
        public void setCircle(Circle circle) {  
            this.circle = circle;  
        }  
        public Triangle getTriangle() {  
            return triangle;  
        }  
        public void setTriangle(Triangle triangle) {  
            this.triangle = triangle;  
        }  
          
    }

The Circle class

    public class Circle {  
      
        private String name;  
      
        public String getName() {  
            return name;  
        }  
      
        public void setName(String name) {  
            this.name = name;  
        }  
          
    }

The Triangle class

    public class Triangle {  
      
        private String name;  
      
        public String getName() {  
            return name;  
        }  
      
        public void setName(String name) {  
            this.name = name;  
        }     
    }

the spring.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
        <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"  
                xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    <!-- tutorial 27  -->  
        <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>  
    <!--  -->  
          
        <bean name="triangle" class="org.lanaizen.model.Triangle">  
            <property name="name" value="Triangle Name"/>  
        </bean>  
      
        <bean name="circle" class="org.lanaizen.model.Circle">  
            <property name="name" value="Circle Name"/>  
        </bean>  
      
        <!-- Service Bean -->  
        <bean name="shapeService" class="org.lanaizen.service.ShapeService" autowire="byName"/>  
      
        <bean name="loggingAspect" class="org.lanaizen.aspect.LoggingAspect"/>  
    </beans>

and the main class

    public class AopMain {  
      
          
        public static void main(String[] args ){  
            //inicializar el spring aplication context  
            //call bean methods  
            ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring.xml");   
            ShapeService shapeService = ctx.getBean("shapeService", ShapeService.class);  
            System.out.println(shapeService.getTriangle().getName());  
        }  
    }

Hello,

As far I can see, I don't find any problems in you code.
I just created a project and tested, and get the next:

INFO : org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext - Refreshing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@22c95b: startup date [Wed May 23 07:13:46 CEST 2012]; root of context hierarchy
INFO : org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader - Loading XML bean definitions from class path resource [context.xml]
INFO : org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Pre-instantiating singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@aa37a6: defining beans [org.springframework.aop.config.internalAutoProxyCreator,triangle,circle,shapeService,loggingAspect]; root of factory hierarchy
Advice run. Get Method called 
Second Advice executed 
Triangle Name

It worth to mention you need aspectjweaver and cglib2 libraries in your path.
Using maven, you may add next two dependencies:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
      <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
      <version>1.6.9</version>
    </dependency>
    
    <dependency>
      <groupId>cglib</groupId>
      <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
      <version>2.2</version>
    </dependency>

Best,
Carlos.
