Struts2 with Spring AOP

[vishwa venkat]

Is this possible?

I have tried several ways to integrate spring AOP with Struts2, with no luck. AutoProxy doesn't seem work well too. Can you guys suggest some ideas?

Thanks,

You need to use cglib proxies.

Thanks for the reply.

I got cglib and asm in my classpath and here is the snippet from applicationContext.xml


<!-- A simple MethodInterceptor style advice object (InterceptorA implements MethodInterceptor) -->
<bean id="loggingAspect" class="aspects.LoggingAspect"/>


<bean name="pointcut.advisor2" class="org.springframework.aop.support.NameMatchMethodPointcutAdvisor">
<property name="advice" ref="loggingAspect"/>
<property name="mappedName" value="*"/>
</bean>


<!-- Create the proxy bean that returns AOP'd varieties of our controller -->
<bean name="myController" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">

<property name="target" ref="claimService" />
<property name="interceptorNames">
<list>
<value>pointcut.advisor2</value>
</list>
</property>

</bean>

After all this, I don't see any error, but also I don't see any thing happening.Aspect is not being executed.

Do you have a sample? Thanks-
