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

If you don't want to use any xml at all, then you can create a separate Java configuration class for aspects

@Configuration
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.myAspects")
public class AspectConfig {
    //Here you can define Aspect beans or just use @ComponentScan (as above)
    //to scan the @Aspect annotation in com.myAspects package
}

And import above configuration class in your main AppConfig class

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@Import({ AspectConfig.class })
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "pkg1", "pkg2", "pkg3" })
public class AppConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {
    //Other configuration beans or methods
}

Now create your aspect beans

import com.myAspects;
@Component
@Aspect
public class LoggingAspect {

    @Before("execution(* com.service.*.*(..))")
    public void logBefore(){
        System.out.println("before advice called");
    } 

    @After("execution(* com.service.*.*(..))")
    public void logAfter(){
        System.out.println("after advice called");
    } 

}

You can use pointcut along with advice annotation as shown above.
