@Async versus RegexpMethodPointcutAdvisor

[pilerou]

Hi,

I'm using spring configuration that :
- intercepts some methods using @Async annotations
- intercepts the same methods using a RegexpMethodPointcutAdvisor using an home made interceptor registered with org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.Defaul tAdvisorAutoProxyCreator
- intercepts the same methods using the same method (RegexpMethodPointcut...) in order to manage transaction (such as documentation explains to do).

I have many beans that matches RegexpMethodPointcutAdvisor patterns.

Some of them are intercepted whereas others only have @Async interception.

Is there a conflict between annotation interception and declaration interception ?

I'm using Spring 3.1.

Thanks for you

I commented this configuration :

<!-- <task:annotation-driven executor="businessAsyncThreadExecutor"/> -->
<!-- <task:executor id="businessAsyncThreadExecutor" pool-size="5"/> -->

and my interceptor works again.

Here is a piece of configuration for my other interceptor :

 
	<bean id="monitoringBusinessTracker" 
	    class="net.sf.itcb.addons.monitoring.track.TrackerMethodAdvisor">
	    <property name="pattern" value=".*ServiceImpl.*"/>
	</bean>
	
	<bean class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator">
		<property name="beanName" value="monitoringBusinessTracker"/>
	</bean>

My advisor creates the interceptor inside afterPropertySet method.

This advisor seems to work only when no annotation-driven interceptors are created.

Anyone already solved this kind of problems ?

Hello,

I solved a part of my problem.

Now, i proxified ehcache and task annotation-driven interception on target classe instead of interface

<ehcache:annotation-driven cache-manager="global-cacheManager"  proxy-target-class="true"/>

<task:annotation-driven executor="businessAsyncThreadExecutor" proxy-target-class="true"/>
<task:executor id="businessAsyncThreadExecutor" pool-size="5"/>

Now, my interceptors, async and ehcache are working together.


However, i noticed a problem on one class which has declarative injection and which has an @Cacheable annotated method.

I can see that injections are done on an instance of this class but at the end, the process calls another instance built by Cglib with no injections... then, i get a NullPointerException when i call a function of missed dependency.

Anyone has an idea on how to solve this problem ?... Kind of perfect configuration is welcome
