@Configurable usage during compile time weaving

[meenakshik]

Hello everyone,

I am new to AspectJ with Spring and I am reading the chapter of http://static.springsource.org/sprin...-using-aspectj ---> 6.8.1. Using AspectJ to dependency inject domain objects with Spring

So far as I understand, I need to enable in my application_Context.xml the use of this annotation. So in my application_context.xml I define

<context:component-scan base-package="com.idc.cms" />
<context:spring-configured />

I have placed @Configurable in my class where I am accessing
@Resource
MyjdbcRepository myjdbcRepository;

In MyjdbcRepository, I am using jdbcTemplate and access some of the sql queries.

The problem: When I write my test, I try to access my @Configurable class and test the method which is using myjdbcRepository.getMyData(value); But I get NullPointerException.
It seems that MyjdbcRepository class is not injecting properly. Can someone please explain / help me to find some solution for this?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Meenakshi

did you setup aop.xml?
did you instrument your JVM?

Well, All I am trying to do is not to use Load time weaving. I want to use this in Compile time weaving.

Also I am using Ant instead of Maven. So as far as I know, aop.xml is used for load time weaving.

I came across something where I might need to create build.ajproperties file. Can someone help me out on this one?

Thanks & Regards,
Meenakshi

You probably got your answer already, but for anyone else.

A good way to setup compiletime weaving (in eclipse) is to use the ajdt plugin.
Add the spring-aspects to the ajdt aspejtj build under the project properties.

Now with the right settings in the spring xmls:

<context:spring-configured/>

the project should compile and be able to run in eclipsejee tomcat for instance.

To compile it with ant:

		<taskdef resource="org/aspectj/tools/ant/taskdefs/aspectjTaskdefs.properties">
	    	<classpath>
	      		<pathelement location="${aspect.home}aspectjtools.jar"/>
	    	</classpath>
	  	</taskdef>



		
		<target name="compaspect">
			<echo message=" **** Compiling aspect "/>
			<mkdir dir="${build}/WEB-INF/classes"/>
			<iajc 
				 compliance="-1.5" 
				srcdir="src"
				destdir="${build}/WEB-INF/classes"
				classpathref="compile.class.path" 
				debug="true" 
				deprecation="false" 
				failonerror="true">
				<aspectpath refid="aspect.path"/>    

			</iajc>
	    </target>


		<path id="aspect.path">
	        <pathelement path="${aspect.home}org.springframework.aspects-3.0.0.RELEASE.jar"/>
	    </path>

Its a bit of a struggle to set it up, but very nice when its all running.
