BeanNameAutoProxyCreator and ProxyFactoryBean don't work on same target

[wexwarez]

I have a large group of beans which I run through a couple BeanNameAutoProxyCreator for various things including logging and Transaction management. If I try to then create a ProxyFactoryBean using this same bean as the target I get an error.

So for instance i will follow my patientChartMgr bean through this problem.

<bean id="patientChartMgr" class="com.mbs.model.service.implementations.clinical.PatientChartMGR">
        <property name="patientChartDao">
            <ref bean="patientChartDao"/>
        </property>
        <property name="securityDao">
            <ref local="securityDao"/>
        </property>
    </bean>

Here is my config for a transaction auto proxy which works great:

<bean id="serviceTransactionAutoProxy" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
        <property name="interceptorNames">
            <value>serviceTransactionInterceptor</value>
        </property>
        <property name="beanNames">
            <list>
                <value>securityMgr</value>
                <value>patientChartMgr</value>
                <value>priceScheduleMgr</value>
                <value>authorizationMgr</value>
etc
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

Then i have these application event handlers that i build in declaritively on a bean by bean basis. This one is applied to the patientChartMgr:

<bean id="patientChartMgrTreatmentCourseApplicationEventFirer" class="org.springframework.aop.support.DefaultPointcutAdvisor">
        <property name="pointcut">
            <bean class="org.springframework.aop.support.JdkRegexpMethodPointcut">
                <property name="patterns">
                    <list>
<value>.*(save|update|create|delete|process|generate|assign)TreatmentCourse.*</value>
                    </list>
                </property>
            </bean>
        </property>
        <property name="advice">
            <bean class="com.mbs.util.event.applicationevent.ApplicationMethodInterceptorEventFirer">
                <property name="applicationEventService">
                    <ref bean="applicationEventMgr"></ref>
                </property>
                <property name="eventNamesToFire">
                    <list>
                        <value>TREATMENT_COURSE_DATA_CHANGED</value>
                    </list>
                </property>
            </bean>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="patientChartMgrEventCatcher" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">
        <property name="interceptorNames">
            <list>
                <value>patientChartMgrTreatmentCourseApplicationEventFirer</value>
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="proxyTargetClass">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="target">
            <ref bean="patientChartMgr"/>
        </property>
        <property name="proxyInterfaces">
            <value>com.mbs.model.service.interfaces.clinical.PatientChartMgr</value>
        </property>
    </bean>

When I start the app like this it gives me this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'patientChartMgrEventCatcher' defined in file [/home/ryan/documents/work/mbs/cvs/MBS/conf/server/ServerApplicationEvents_SpringCtx.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.aopalliance.aop.AspectException: null

If i change the ProxyFactoryBean declartion to be a BeanNameAutoProxyCreator, see below, it works. Can anyone Explain that?

    <bean id="patientChartMgrEventCatcher" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
        <property name="interceptorNames">
            <list>
                <value>patientChartMgrTreatmentCourseApplicationEventFirer</value>
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="beanNames">
            <list>
                <value>patientChartMgr</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
