NoSuchMethodError aspectOf() at runtime from build

问题:

We used aspectJ to get some metric on an existing application. When building and weaving with AJDT in eclipse, everything works great. But in the integration env. we use an ant script to build and deploy the application.

The problem occur on an ExceptionHandler i did to be sure our aspect would not throw exception and break the application

@Aspect
public class ExceptionHandlerAspect {

    /**
     * Pointcut
     */
    @Pointcut("within(com.xxx.yyy.aop.aspect.*..*)")
    public void allMethodInAspectPackage() {}

    /**
     *  Pointcut
     */
    @Pointcut("!within(com.xxx.yyy.aop.aspect.ExceptionHandlerAspect)")
    public void notInExceptionHandlerAspectClass() {}
    /**
     *  Pointcut
     */
    @Pointcut("call(* *(..))")
    public void allClassAndMethod() {}

    /**
    @Around("allClassAndMethod() && allMethodInAspectPackage() && notInExceptionHandlerAspectClass()")
    public Object logException(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable{
        Object ret = null;
        try {
            ret = joinPoint.proceed();
        }catch (Throwable exception) {
            if (joinPoint.getSignature().getDeclaringTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint")) {
                throw exception;
            }
            this.logException.info("Exception in " + joinPoint.getSignature().getDeclaringTypeName(),exception);
        }finally {
            return ret; 
        }

    }

}

Basicaly, i want to intercept every call within my aspects package except in the ExceptionHandler itself.

the ant build look like this :

<iajc inpath="${classes.dir}" destDir="${classes.dir}" fork="true" maxmem="${aspectj.maxmem}" verbose="true" showWeaveInfo="true" debug="true">
    <classpath refid="ajclasspath"/>
</iajc>

The ${classes.dir} is the classes directory where the javac task built the application and the aspects

From the result,

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.xxx.yyy.aop.aspect.ExceptionHandlerAspect.aspectOf()Lcom/xxx/yyy/aop/aspect/ExceptionHandlerAspect;
    at com.xxx.yyy.aop.aspect.ecs.AspectBaseEcs.inspectLoginInfo(AspectBaseEcs.java:65)
    at com.xxx.yyy.app.es.security.Security.loadApplications(Security.java:172)
    at com.xxx.yyy.app.es.gui.VSDlgLogin.loadSecurity(VSDlgLogin.java:346)
    at com.xx.yyy.app.es.ApplicationSuite.start(ApplicationSuite.java:839)
    at com.xxx.yyy.app.es.ApplicationSuite.main(ApplicationSuite.java:501)

it looks like the ExceptionHandler was not weaved!!!

I hope someone can help me on this one ;-)

回答1:

Finally found the problem. Our Application had a dependency on common module jar that was containing aspect too.

The base package name was the same: com.xxx.aop and the base class we used for our aspects was the same name. So 2 com.xxx.aop.AspectBase.class were loaded.

Since we used a flag in our Ant build file to enable compile time weaving at yes/no, one of our AspectBase.class was not weaved while the other was.

回答2:

I had very similar problem

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: ....aspectOf()...

I'm using Spring 3.1.2 + Maven 3.0.4 + Tomcat 7.0.29 and at od times it happens that when I'm starting Tomcat I'm getting this Exception.

I have no idea why that happens. I'm using Spring Tool Suit IDE, but when I perform mvn clean install from command line (not in IDE) it somehow get fixed, maybe this helps someone.

it looks like you have forgotten to declare the aspect path. All your task does is to compile but not weave. And that results in the java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Below is a sample that shows how to use the iajc task with weaving:

<iajc outjar="demo.jar">
    <sourceroots>
        <pathelement location=”src” />
        <pathelement location=".." />
    </sourceroots>
    <aspectpath>
        <pathelement location="org.springframework.aspects-3.0.0.RC1.jar" />
    </aspectpath>
</iajc>

I hope this helps!
