Question

i am using AspectJ compile time weaving and spring 3.O. and Hibernate 3.0…AspectJ weaving is working fine for simple things like logging but this is not working correctly for Transaction

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"
    mode="aspectj" order="1" />
<bean id="transactionManager"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory">
        <ref bean="sessionFactory" />
    </property>
</bean>

Sprong-aspects jar is also present in the lib forlder but still transactional support is not working..

i am using like this

@Transactional(readOnly = false, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor = Exception.class)
public void invokeService() throws Exception {
    insertUpdatePolicy();
}

logging doesn,t specify any transactions..transactions are working fine with spring aop but not with aspectj when the class is not defined in the spring container

Answer 1

i have found answer to this problem,

One thing we need to keep in mind that we need to place spring-aspects.jar to my Aspect Path instead of java class path.otherwise weaving is not done and transaction is not working.

Second thing i was missing following configuration in spring=bean config.

<bean class="org.springframework.transaction.aspectj.AnnotationTransactionAspect" factory-method="aspectOf">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager"/>
