Weave @Aspect to @controller

[kiwi]

hi, is that possible to weave @aspect to @controller ?

say i had

@Aspect
public class mailAgent
{
     .....

     @After( "execution(* com.web.RegisterController.register(..)" )
     public void sendmail() { /*send mail code */ }

     .....
}

package com.web;

@Controller
public class RegisterController
{
   private register(User user)  { /*do Something... */ }
}

however, I had try it and it can't work.

any idea ?

This should work fine. However, you will need to declare a bean for the aspect and <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/> in you config file. See the 'petclinic' sample for an example.

hi, thx for reply.

I had a @service on my @aspect (so spring will automatic initilize it) and put <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>, but unfornutalety, it still couldn't work.

here are some snippet of my log,

[org.springframework.aop.aspectj.annotation.Reflect iveAspectJAdvisorFactory] - <Found AspectJ method: public void com.service.aspect.MailAgent.test()>

(test() is my aspect method name)

but when the code called, i didn't show anything (what i do is to System.out.println some words for testing purpose)

if the aspect is fail to proxy, it will show "unable to apply advice to ..." right ?

i had try on my my service's interface, it work ok, but it seem like fail on @controller concrete class, even i abstract my method to interface and pointcut to all methods in that interface, it still fail to run successfuly, even it show that

[org.springframework.aop.aspectj.annotation.Reflect iveAspectJAdvisorFactory] - <Found AspectJ method: public void com.service.aspect.MailAgent.test()>

any idea ?
