Annotation config with PublisherAnnotationBeanPostProcessor

[young_matthewd]

using Spring 3.2.0.M1 and integration 2.1.3....

Trying to set up a publish-subscribe channel with annotations. Idea is to wrap a couple CRUD services with an AOP @Around and send of in a message the service name in the header plus the object effected by the CRUD call in the payload. Can't get the @Publisher annotation to fire off a message, looking like the post processor isn't been run.

Testing with JUnit so the Test class has:

@ContextConfiguration(classes = { ApplicationConfig.class, DevelopmentConfig.class, ProductionConfig.class }, loader = AnnotationConfigSDNContextLoader.class)

The ApplicationConfig has the AOP @Around bean wired:

@Bean 
public ElementCRUD elementCRUD() {
	return new ElementCRUD();
}

And in the DevelopmentConfig (got my profile set to "development") the actual Publication-Subcribe channel named "crudElementChannel":

@Bean
public PublishSubscribeChannel crudElementChannel() {
	return new PublishSubscribeChannel();
}

Inside the AOP ElementCrud class I have the @Around aspect method which gets called after the proceed call it calls the "send" method in the same class:

@Publisher(channel = "crudElementChannel")
	public Element send(@Payload Element element, @Header String function) {
		....
		return element;
	}

Read that the PublisherAnnotationBeanPostProcessor has to be added to the BeanFactory so I extended the AnnotationConfigContextLoader as:

    @Override
    protected void customizeBeanFactory(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
		PublisherAnnotationBeanPostProcessor integrationPABPP = new PublisherAnnotationBeanPostProcessor();
		integrationPABPP.setBeanFactory(beanFactory);
		integrationPABPP.afterPropertiesSet();
		
		beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(integrationPABPP);
	}

Got "Advisor is null" error if the afterPropertiesSet method wasn't run with the passed beanFactory.
