Re: [aspectj-users] Re: [aspectj-dev] aspect keyword != @Aspect ?

You don't need that option:
XterminateAfterCompilation="true"
It is causing the aspect to be 'unfinished' then you are using it from
the aspectpath in an unfinished state.

It wasn't any written code that was calling aspectOf(), it was code that was
generated by the weaving process. I found that it was related to a target
parameter on the iajc task, so it was a compilation mistake like you
thought.
Thanks

Hi Eric -
So far I think the only problem you cite is the compile
error with the aspectOf methods, but this is cited as an
exception in the documentation I linked:
these methods will not be visible to the compiler
and will result in a compilation error if another
part of the program tries to call them
The workaround there is to use the Aspects class.
But if/since your error is at runtime, you should email the
stack trace. Perhaps the class or a required class is not
visible to Aspects, Aspects is relying on security
permissions it doesn't have, etc.
You can also submit a bug report.
Thanks -
Wes
