Spring 2.0M2 AOP issue

[Bill Fly]

Can anyone shed any light on this error?

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.aop.support.DefaultPointcutAd visor#3': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' while setting bean property 'advice'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/objectweb/asm/ClassVisitor

You need the asm-1.4.3.jar file in your classpath.

hi,
between asm 1.x and 2.x there's beena a major API change, and some classes have been moved or deleted. Try using asm 1.4.3 as suggested in previous post.

[Bill Fly]

Version 1 with version 2?

[ervalerio]

i thought you were referring to spring 1.2.x can't say anything about spring 2.x dependancy.

good luck
valerio

[dgynn]

Sorry, asm-2.2.1 is the right version to use with spring-2.0m2. It appears you also need asm-commons-2.2.1.jar.

[Bill Fly]

I have included all the jar files in the asm folder in the buildpath. Now I get the following error:

I believe this means that the methods on your advice bean are expecting parameters to be passed but your pointcut expression doesn't define them. You either need to remove the arguments from your invoke/before/etc methods or update your pointcut expression to define and bind the arguments. It might also help to try to get the advice working one at a time instead of all 4 at once.
