Spring AOP on JSF Managed Beans

[champaklal]

I am trying to apply Spring AOP on JSF Managed Beans, but for some reason as soon as I apply AOP JSF is throwing MethodNotFoundException.

here is my code :
Web.xml

   	
   	<application>
   		<default-render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core</default-render-kit-id>
   		<el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>	
	</application>

applicationContext.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
  xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
  xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd

    <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>
  	<bean id="loginAuditAspect" class="com.test.mobile.service.LoginAuditManagementAspect">
  		<constructor-arg index="0">
			<list>
				<bean class="com.test.mobile.service.LoginAuditableResourceResolver" />
				<bean class="com.test.mobile.service.LoggedInAuditableResourceResolver" />
				<bean class="com.test.mobile.service.NavigationAuditableResourceResolver" />
			</list>
		</constructor-arg>
	</bean>
  
  <bean id="loginService" class="com.test.mobile.service.MLoginServiceImpl" />
  
    <bean id="memberService" class="com.test.mobile.service.MMemberServiceImpl" scope="session">
  		<property name="thpContext" ref="thpContext"></property>
    </bean> 
   
   <bean id="mMemberProfileBean" class="com.test.mobile.service.MMemberProfileBean" scope="session">
 	  <property name="memberService" ref="memberService"></property>
   </bean>
   
   <bean id="testBean" class="com.test.mobile.service.TestBean" scope="session">
   </bean>
  </beans>

Backing Bean:

public class TestBean extends BaseBackingBean {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	
	
@Auditable(resourceName="LoggedIn", resourceResolverClass=com.test.mobile.service.LoggedInAuditableResourceResolver.class)
	public String getXxx() {
		System.out.println("entered populateMemberProfile.............TestNBean.....");
		return null;
	}

}

Can someone help me in applying AOP logic on JSF managed beans

If it is a JSF managed bean it will not work as spring cannot apply AOP to beans it doesn't manage. So basically what you have isn't a JSF managed bean but merely a spring bean which is accessed by JSF.

You haven't posted your other classes but I suspect that your BaseBackingBean implements several interfaces and spring uses JDK dynamic proxies which means only methods available on the interfaces are available... Switch to either loadtimeweaving or class based proxied.
