Why do I get errors when I try to create Beans using Pointcuts and Wildcard Expressions?

Question

When I practice Spring Tutorial 28 - Pointcuts and Wildcard Expressions, I encounter the following problem :

Exception in thread"main"org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:
Error creating bean with name 'triangle' defined in class path resource
[springPointcuts.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 can't find referenced
pointcut allGetters

You will see my codes below I would much appreciate your solution for my problem.

LoggingAspectPointcuts :

package org.koushik.javabrains.aspect;

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

@Aspect
public class LoggingAspectPointcuts {

    @Before("allGetters()")
    public void LoggingAdvice(){
    System.out.println("Advice run.Get Method called");
    }

    @Before("allGetters()")
    public void secondAdvice() {
    System.out.println("Second Advice executed ");
    }

    @Pointcut("execution(* get*())")
    public void allGetters(){}


}

AopMainWildCardPointcuts :

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

import org.koushik.javabrains.service.ShapeService;

public class AopMainWildCardPointcuts {

    public static void main(String[] args) {


        ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("springPointcuts.xml");

        ShapeService shapeService= (ShapeService) ctx.getBean("shapeService");
        System.out.println(shapeService.getCircle().getName());



    }

springPointcuts.xml :

    </bean>
    <bean name="circle"   class="org.koushik.javabrains.model.Circle">
    <property name="name" value="Circle Name"/>
    </bean> 

    <bean name="loggingAspectPointcuts" class="org.koushik.javabrains.aspect.LoggingAspectPointcuts"/>

</beans> 

Answer 1

Try to use the correct version of cglib.jar use the cirrect version 2.1_3 or latest

asm-3.3.1
cglib-2.2.2
aspectjrt-1.6.11
aspectweaver-1.6.11.

Make sure you use the above-mentioned jars.
