Weblogic load time weaving not working

[gwi]

Hello,
I'm trying to get load time weaving to work with a BEA Weblogic server 10.

As described here I added

<context:load-time-weaver />

to my applicationContext.xml. Then I created this META-INF\aop.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE aspectj PUBLIC "-//AspectJ//DTD//EN" "http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/dtd/aspectj.dtd">
<aspectj>

  <weaver options="-debug">
    <include within="org.vc.*" />
    <include within="org.vc.dist.*" />
  </weaver>

  <aspects>
    <aspect name="org.vc.util.monitor.MonitorAspect" />
  </aspects>

</aspectj>

The aspect looks like:

   @Around("execution(* *(..))")
   public Object doSimpleProfiling(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable
   {
      StopWatch stopWatch = new StopWatch(pjp.getSignature().toShortString());
      try {
         stopWatch.start(pjp.getSignature().toShortString());
         return pjp.proceed();
     } finally {
         stopWatch.stop();
         System.out.println(stopWatch.shortSummary());
     }
   }

The problem is the aspect is never executed. The server log states:

18:28:02,625 INFO  org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader : Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started
18:28:03,844 INFO  org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext : Refreshing org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext@80e605: display name [Root WebApplicationContext]; startup date [Thu Jan 07 18:28:03 CET 2010]; root of context hierarchy

Is there a way to get some more logging? I'm out of ideas so I appreciate any help.

Thanks,
gwi

did you try to get logging without time-weaver?

I have used weblogica little, and I have to say is something especial, it needs extra configuration that other application server, like glassfish, don't need.

Hi gwi,

I am having the same problems ... Did you find a solution ?

no, I ended up using compile time weaving.

good luck,
