Compile time weaving problem

[jarle.hansen]

Hi,

I have a problem running a osgi bundle that has compile time weaving with aspjectj. I am using the eclipse aspectj plugin, when I add AspectJ compatibility it automatically saves the aspectj file in required plug-ins.

When I remove the aspectj capability the bundles runs just fine, but when the aspect is enable it crashes when I start equinox. This is the error message:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'carDaoService': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.lang.Class[]] for property 'interfaces'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find class [springdm.demo.dao.CarDao]

please let me know if you need more information to understand why it crashes.
Thanks!

After a bit more investigation it seems that eclipse does not create the .class file at all, even though everything seems fine in the IDE. Any ideas?

Not really - it might be that everything is created on the fly and then installed into the OSGi platform.
I haven't used Eclipse PDE that much but Spring-DM at the end of the day is just a bundle so using AspectJ w/ it should be as simple as using AspectJ with any other bundles.
Try minimizing the sample as much as possible and then start using AspectJ - also consider pinging the AspectJ/Eclipse mailing lists.

Thank you for the reply.

I did get to the bottom if this eventually. It was a plugin bug, an old versjon of the aspectj plugin cause this stange behaviour. When I updated the plugin everything worked
