Dependency Injection in JPA Entity Listener

[Milesy]

Hi,

I have a JPA Entity Listener attached to my domain objects and I am trying to inject a service into the Entity Listener and I am having problems.

I am using

Glassfish 3
Spring 3.0.4
aspectjweaver 1.6.9

My config is as follows:

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

<bean class="audit.AuditListener"/>
<bean class="TestService"/>

My AuditListener is declared as:

@Configurable(autowire = Autowire.BY_TYPE, dependencyCheck = true)
public class AuditListener {
@Autowired
private TestService testService;
...

I have added the following to my Glassfish configuration script

<jvm-options>-javaagent:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/lib/spring-agent-2.5.6.jar</jvm-options>

where the agent jar file exists in that location.

And added the following to my context.xml (I read a blog which says I need this if I am using a WAR and not an EAR)

<Loader
loaderClass="org.springframework.instrument.classl oading.glassfish.GlassFishLoadTimeWeaver"
useSystemClassLoaderAsParent="false"/>

I get the following error: (too big for post - will add it next)


I do not know if I am mixing and matching the wrong configuration for different things here. Maybe someone could help clear up if I am actually going about this the right way for what I described above.

Thanks

Chris

I am still having problems trying to figure this out.

Can anyone explain what the correct steps are to enable dependency injection into a JPA EntityListener on Glassfish. I have tried mixing and matching these but nothing.

thanks.
