I went through all the possibilities trying to make my project running on Tomcat and point cut the model (getters) and woven them using AspectJ Load Time Weaver. Basically, I followed all the steps in the Spring Documentation http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/aop.html#aop-atconfigurable. I also followed the same approach mentioned Lazy/Eager loading/fetching in Neo4j/Spring-Data. My project is divided in two main project: - core: spring-data-neo4j (repository and configuration), domain-model in a dedicated package, LoggingAspect and LazyLoadingAspect. p.s. I am not using any configuration in XML files. I am using Annotation purely. - content: web application running on Tomcat which depends on core project and I want to weave when I invoke getter methods in the domain project.
Running the core itself I managed to get it running using maven plugin and adding the dependencies for aspectj. But all the hell starts when I move to Tomcat. I tried all the possibilities e.g using -javaagent, create the custom context.xml, put spring-instrument into tomcat/lib folder, etc etc. I am receiving the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Post-processor tried to replace bean instance of type [com.test.server.graph.domain.model.Sequence] with (proxy) object of type [org.springframework.beans.factory.aspectj.$Proxy96] - not supported for aspect-configured classes!

Domain-model classes
As recommended by Spring Documentation I annotated the classes in the Domain model
@Configurable
mvc-dispatcher-servlet (webapp project)
<context:spring-configured />
<context:load-time-weaver aspectj-weaving="on" weaver-class="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatLoadTimeWeaver" />
I tried running using tomcat-maven-plugin and tomcat standalone installation (v7 and v8).
