JavaConfig: Replacing aop:advisor and tx:advice

Question

I\'m wondering if I can map this piece of xml-configuration to Spring JavaConfig:

Answer 1

Currently it isn't possible to translate all XML-based AspectJ settings to a Java based configuration. Probably it will never be. The main reason is that Java doesn't support method literals. But there is a workaround, which was first presented here: https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-8148

1. Continue using by including the relevant XML snippet using @ImportResource
2. Convert any existing elements to use @Aspect style.

Referring to the documentation, I would say that you're already nearly done with your configuration you have described above. You just have to change you config like this:

Leave the rest like it is and import that resource:

import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Pointcut;

@Aspect
@ImportResource("classpath:/aop-config.xml")
public class AspectConfig
{
    @Pointcut("@within(org.springframework.stereotype.Service)")
    public void serviceAnnotatedClass() {}
}

I hope I could help...
