Testing Load-time woven domain objects with Maven Surefire

[nihilist]

Dear All,

I have a rather frustrating problem with running Spring integration tests with maven surefire plugin, using the TestContexts framework. The problem is typical based on the google results: I've tried to inject repositories into domain object by using LTW. It all works nicely when running the application, but the DAO is not injected when I try to run the integration tests. I've carefully followed the instructions to configure the surefire plugin, but the LTW feature still doesn't work.

Here is my domain object:

@Entity
@Table(name = "JOB_USER")
@Configurable("user")
public class User extends BaseEntity {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = -6863852659859379841L;

	@Transient
	private transient UserDao userDao;

	@Required
	public void setUserDao(final UserDao userDao) {
		this.userDao = userDao;
	}

        [...]
}

and my Spring config:

      
        <context:load-time-weaver/>
	<context:spring-configured/>
	<context:annotation-config/>	

	<bean
		id="userDao"
		class="hu.jobportal.domain.user.dao.jpa.JpaUserDao"/>
		
	<bean
		id="user"
		class="hu.jobportal.domain.user.model.User"
		scope="prototype">
		
		<property name="userDao" ref="userDao"/>
		
	</bean>

Maven surefire plugin is configured like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <forkMode>once</forkMode>
            <argLine>
            -javaagent:${settings.localRepository}/org/springframework/spring-instrument/${spring.version}/spring-instrument-${spring.version}.jar
            </argLine>
            <useSystemClassLoader>true</useSystemClassLoader>
        </configuration>
</plugin>

The aop.xml is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<aspectj>
	<weaver options="-verbose -debug -showWeaveInfo">
		<include within="hu.jobportal..*"/>
	</weaver>
</aspectj>

I'm using 3.0.0.RC3 version, but the same applies to 2.5.6. In the logs I can see that the AspectJ weaver is loaded and it prints a lot of debug messages about not weaving and weaving objects, but my User object is not there.

The annoying thing is that it works perfectly when I bootstrap the ApplicationContext from a main method and instantiate a User object with new.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
