AspectJ AOP not working

[bhawna0]

I created the advice class

@Aspect
public class DAOUpdateEventAspect {

@Before("execution(* createParty(..))")
public void logBefore(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
System.out.println("Method signatue " + joinPoint.getSignature().toString());


}

}

my pointcut method classes are as follows


public interface AbcDAO extends DAO {

PartyDABImpl createParty(PartyDABImpl partyDAB);
}

@DAO
public class AbcDAOImpl implements ApplicationPartyDAO {

public PartyDABImpl createParty(PartyDABImpl partyDAB) {
System.out.println("creating party");
createOrUpdateParty(partyDAB);
return partyDAB;
}
}

included dependency jar file (aopalliance-1.0.jar,asm-all-3.3.1.jar,aspectjrt.jar,aspectjweaver.jar,commons-logging-1.1.jar) and all spring framework libs


following is my xml file

</context:component-scan>
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />
<bean id="daoUpdateEventListener"
class="au.com.xx.yy.utils.dao.DAOUpdateEventAspect " />


</beans>

for some reason the advise method is never called. Is there something wrong or is there a way to debug AOP to look into the proxy object, etc ?

Any help would be greatly be appreciated

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code/xml/stacktraces that way it remains readable ..

1. Make sure you are using the proxied instance and not creating new instances of your dao yourself
2. YOu use component-scanning make sure you only scan for components in the context that has tha aop defined else you have 2 bean instances 1 proxied one not proxied.

HI,
you have to use @Before("execution(* *.createParty(..))") instead of @Before("execution(* createParty(..))")
