Hi All,
I am new to AOP so apologies if this is trivial - but have done a search and tried a few things out and unfortunately no success.

I'm getting the following exception:

org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationExcepti on: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJPointcutAdv isor]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 formal unbound in pointcut
My xml config is:

Code:
    <bean id="requestTimerAspect" class="com.monitor.RequestTimerAspect"/>
    <aop:config>
        <aop:aspect id="myAspect" ref="requestTimerAspect">
            <aop:pointcut id="myCutTimer"
                    expression="execution(* com.web.OpMonitorController.*())"/>
            <aop:around pointcut-ref="myCutTimer" method="timer"/>
        </aop:aspect>
    </aop:config>
My aspect is:

Code:
package com.monitor;
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;

public class RequestTimerAspect {
    public Object timer(ProceedingJoinPoint call) throws Throwable {
        System.out.println("before!");
        Object retVal = call.proceed();
        System.out.println("after!");
        return retVal;
    }
}
And my test method is:

Code:
package com.web;
public class OpMonitorController {
    public void aspectTest(){
        System.out.println("Actually in the aspectTest method!!!!");
    }
}
Can anybody see where I've gone wrong?
I have tried this with a couple of different expression values but no success yet, e.g:
Code:
expression="execution(* com.web.OpMonitorController.*(..))"
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark
