Problem with Spring AOP+AspectJ

[Vladimir Koba]

Hi all! I want to log every invoke public method in my class. So, i create LoggingAspect class for logging, and configure Spring on xml.
When i start my application, all methods logging three times, for example:

Entering method selectAllCompanies...
Entering method selectAllCompanies...
Entering method selectAllCompanies...

Really, methods invokes one times. I think, that problem in a pointcut, but i'm not sure.

aop-context.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd"> <import resource="service-context.xml"/> <bean id="loggingAspect" class="ru.igs.eq.logging.LoggingAspect"/> <aop:config> <aop:pointcut id="pointcutLog" expression="execution(* ru.igs.eq.dao.MongoDbDaoImpl.* (..) )" /> <aop:aspect id="aopAspect" ref="loggingAspect"> <aop:before pointcut-ref="pointcutLog" method="logEntry"/> </aop:aspect> </aop:config> </beans>

LoggingAspect.java

public class LoggingAspect {
    public void logEntry(final JoinPoint joinPoint) {
        System.out.println("Entering method " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName() + "...");
    }
}

I think this is fixed in newer versions of Spring.

Your problem I believe is that other proxying is being done on your DAO (Transactional etc) and your advice is being called multiple times before the actual POJO is invoked.

See if this link helps you at all.
