[aspectj-users] Errors while switching from load time weaving to compile

[Bhuvan Rawal <bhu1rawal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Im trying to switch to aspectj compiler for our project which takes a lot of time to weave during load time, so i thought of evaluating compile time weaving using aspectj. Below are the steps I took:

1. Added aspectjweaver to pom- latest stable version

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.10</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.10</version>
</dependency>

2. Added aspectj maven plugin to build

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.10</version>
            <configuration>
                <showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>
                <source>1.8</source>
                <target>1.8</target>
                <Xlint>ignore</Xlint>
                <complianceLevel>1.8</complianceLevel>
                <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
                <verbose>true</verbose>
                <aspectLibraries>
                    <aspectLibrary>
                        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                        <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
                    </aspectLibrary>
                </aspectLibraries>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>compile</goal>
                        <goal>test-compile</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

3. Enabled Aspectj mode in JpaRepository

@EnableTransactionManagement(mode= AdviceMode.ASPECTJ)

Now when im compiling my project Im getting some aspectj errors :

-> The parameter (parameter name) is not bound in [all branches of] pointcut

-> use of ProceedingJoinPoint is allowed only on around advice 

For the 2nd error , Ive verified, the advice is around not sure why this error occurs then.

It works perfectly fine when I was using default Spring AOP load time weaving. I tried finding my way out but could not hence posting here. (Saw this blog which lists similar thing but it says it was fixed in version 1.7.2)

I tried doing the same using ajc plugin for my ide (previous observations were using maven command line build). Similar errors occurred.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Bhuvan
