Spring AOP aspect does not intercept annotated method

Question

i want to use the @before , @after and @AfterThrowing in my function. If other function use the annotation like @MyAspectTest , it should run beforeAction() , afterAction() and afterExcept() at related time. But, it seems doesn't work.

i have already input the dependency and modified the beans.

package com.service.metrics;

import com.mgr.CMPMgr;
import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.After;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Before;

import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.AfterThrowing;

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

@Aspect
public class CMPAspect {
    @Before(value="@annotation(com.mgr.CMPMgr)")
    public void beforeAction(JoinPoint joinPoint) throws ClassNotFoundException {
      testcode
    }

    @After(value="@annotation(com.mgr.CMPMgr)")
    public void afterAction(){
      testcode
    }

    @AfterThrowing(value="@annotation(com.mgr.CMPMgr)")
    public void afterExcept(){
      testcode
    }
}

package com.mgr;

public @interface CMPMgr {
    String name() default "";
    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
}

    @CMPMgr(name = "vipGet")
    @GET
    @Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML })
    @Path("/{lbId}")
    public Response get(@PathParam("lbId")String lbId,
                        @HeaderParam("Authorization") String basicAuthData,
                        @HeaderParam("UserID") String behalf) {

    <!-- responsible for registering the necessary Spring components that power

    <tx:annotation-driven />

it should get into the Aspect functions. But i don't find it work in debug mode. Why?

Answer 1

Some things come to mind:

• Your annotation needs runtime retention, but I do not see @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) in your code.
• Your aspect should be a @Component , but I do not see the corresponding annotation either.
• The target class containing method public Response get(..) also has to be a Spring bean/component. Because you only show incoherent snippets instead of full class definitions, I have no idea which package that class resides in, if it is a Spring component and whether or not it is picked up by component scan.
