Aspect not woven when using Spring MVC + Spring Security

[xetyk31]

Hi all,

I've some problems to make Spring MVC + Spring AOP work together.

When i'm running tests aop works fine but doesn't on Tomcat/Jboss server.

My aop config is declared in the applicationContext.xml, aop classes (@Aspect + @Component) are in the com.company.fmk.framework package.

applicationContext.xml :

    <import resource="applicationContext-infrastructure.xml"/>
    <import resource="applicationContext-security.xml"/>

    <context:component-scan base-package="com.company.fmk.framework, com.company.fmk.repository,
    com.company.fmk.security, com.company.fmk.service" />

    <aop:aspectj-autoproxy />

applicationContext-security.xml (irrelevant ?) :

	<security:http pattern="/static/**" security="none" />

	<security:http use-expressions="true" auto-config="false" entry-point-ref="linkForbiddenEntryPoint">
		<security:intercept-url pattern="/authError.html" access="permitAll"/>
		<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="hasAnyRole('ROLE_USER','ROLE_ADMIN')" />
		<security:custom-filter position="PRE_AUTH_FILTER" ref="preAuthFilter" />
		<security:logout invalidate-session="true" logout-url="/logout" />
	</security:http>

	<bean id="preAuthenticationProvider" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.preauth.PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationProvider">
		<property name="preAuthenticatedUserDetailsService" ref="userAuthenticationService" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="preAuthFilter" class="com.sopragroup.fmk.security.RequestAuthenticationFilter">
		<property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />
	</bean>

	<security:authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
		<security:authentication-provider ref="preAuthenticationProvider" />
	</security:authentication-manager>

dispatcher-servlet.xml :

 
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.company.fmk.web"/>
    <mvc:default-servlet-handler/>
    <mvc:annotation-driven />
...
some thymeleaf conf
 ...

web.xml :

    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.security.web.session.HttpSessionEventPublisher</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <filter>
        <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

I can't understand what i'm doing wrong, i've read 10 post about Spring mvc + Spring aop problems but i was unable to find a suitable solution.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me.

Thanks for any suggestions.

And what doesn't work? Just stating it doesn't work isn't very precise... What did you expect to happen that doesn't happen.

Thanks for your answer, i'll try to make it clear despite of my terrible english.

Actually, i have two aspects for now, one for login users actions on service layer and one for translating exceptions.

Both aspects works fine when i'm running JUnit tests (no displatcher-servlet or security) but when i deploy the application, i'm no longer abble to intercept these methods.

I was expecting that my aspects were added to the service layer methods like in the tests environnement.
