Annotations not working though DI works in Spring AOP

[kunal.j]

Hi,

I am facing a bit strange behavior with Spring Aop.
Listed below is the code i have

**** LoginController ****
package com.aspect;
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/app/*")
public class LoginController
{
private LoginService loginService;

public LoginService getLoginService()
{
return loginService;
}

@Autowired
public void setLoginService(LoginService loginService)
{
this.loginService = loginService;
}

@RequestMapping(value = "home")
public String home(Model model, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
{
this.loginService.test();
return "app/home";
}


***** Login Service *****
package com.aspect;
//@Service
public class LoginService
{

public void test(){
System.out.println("LoginService.test....");
}


****** Aspect *****
@Component
@Aspect
public class TestAspect{

@Order(value = 1)
@Around("execution(public * com.aspect.LoginService.*(..)) ")
public Object intercept(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable
{
Object r = null;
System.out.println("Aspect Is Working");
pjp.proceed();
return r;
}
}

******** ApplicationContext.xml ******
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

>
<context:component-scan base-package="com" />
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />

<bean id="LoginService" class="com.aspect.LoginService" />


</beans>


Now if i run the application, as shown above in tomcat 6, the aspect works and intercept method in LoginService.java.
But if i comment bean definition of LoginService from applicationContext and uncomment @Service annotation in LoginService, with this apsect intercept doesnt work.

I am not able to figure out why the same piece of code works with DI happening through applicationContext but doesn't work when it happens through annotations.

Please let me know if i am missing something out here.
Thanks for any help.

Kunal

Anyone having this issue? I am too using Spring 3.0 GA. It's driving me crazy.

Double check to make sure you aren't calling the following:

<context:component-scan base-package="com" />

In more than one context (e.g. applicationContext.xml and dispatcher-servlet.xml).

That happened to be my issue.
