SpringFramework: instantiation exception - java

I'm new to Spring Framework so I decided to buy a book ("Spring in action" 3rd edition). Currently I'm at first chapter which covers basics - Dependency Injection (DI) and Aspect oriented programming (AOP).
I managed to run this code which showed DI.
1#Interface implemented by knight
package com.springinaction.knights;
public interface Knight {
void embarkOnQuest() throws QuestException;
}
1#Knight class
package com.springinaction.knights;
public class BraveKnight implements Knight {
private Quest quest;
public BraveKnight(Quest quest) {
this.quest = quest; //<co id="co_injectedQuest"/>
}
public void embarkOnQuest() throws QuestException {
quest.embark();
}
}
#2Quest interface
package com.springinaction.knights;
public interface Quest {
void embark() throws QuestException;
}
#2Quest Exception
package com.springinaction.knights;
public class QuestException extends RuntimeException {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
}
#2Quest type class implementation
package com.springinaction.knights;
public class SlayDragonQuest implements Quest {
public void embark() throws QuestException {
System.out.println("Slaying Dragon!");
}
}
#3Testing brave knight DI
package com.springinaction.knights;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class KnightMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context =
new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("knights.xml"); //<co id="co_loadKnightContext"/>
Knight knight = (Knight) context.getBean("knight"); //<co id="co_getBeanKnight"/>
knight.embarkOnQuest();//<co id="co_useKnight"/>
}
}
This is XML application context which injects quest into knight
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd">
<bean id="quest" class="com.springinaction.knights.SlayDragonQuest" /><!--<co
id="co_quest_bean"/> -->
<bean id="knight" class="com.springinaction.knights.BraveKnight">
<constructor-arg ref="quest" /> <!--<co id="co_inject_quest_bean"/> -->
</bean>
</beans>
To this moment everything works, but when author wants to show AOP then something is wrong in XML file. The idea is that minstrel sings (logs) before knight goes on a quest and sings (logs off) when knight comes back from a quest.
Minstrel class
package com.springinaction.knights;
public class Minstrel {
public void singBeforeQuest() { //<co id="co_singBefore"/>
System.out.println("Fa la la; The knight is so brave!");
}
public void singAfterQuest() { //<co id="co_singAfter"/>
System.out.println(
"Tee hee he; The brave knight did embark on a quest!");
}
}
XML AOP file, I guess there is some kind of error here, but I don't know what...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>
</beans>
Testing this looks exactly like in #3 Testing BraveKnight

Download AspectJ and add aspectjrt.jar & aspectjweaver.jar to your classpath. Spring's aop config with the aop namespace is based on AspectJ, which is no more shipped bundled with org.springframework.aop jar.
Following is maven dependency in case its a maven based project
<dependency>

Any suggestion will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
UPDATE
I think is something related to Weblogic 12.1.3.0(12c). I made a web project in Netbeans (with and without Maven), and these work fine. Maybe Weblogic requires some special configuration?
the following jars were generated with netbeans and maven (spring-batch-core, 3.0.5.RELEASE and spring-webmvc, 4.0.5.RELEASE) as Malguna said
aopalliance-1.0.jar
com.ibm.jbatch-tck-spi-1.0.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
javax.batch-api-1.0.jar
jettison-1.2.jar
spring-aop-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-batch-core-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-batch-infrastructure-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-beans-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-context-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-core-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-expression-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-retry-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-tx-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-web-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-webmvc-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
xmlpull-1.1.3.1.jar
xpp3_min-1.1.4c.jar
xstream-1.4.7.jar
UPDATE II
I made a workaround to this issue, although It doesn't tackle the real problem It let me keep forward in what I really want. That is, making Jdeveloper (12c), Weblogic and Spring Batch work together.
I add a jobRepository and a datasource whit hsqldb in the testBatch-servlet.xml. After that, add hsqldb-2.3.3.jar and spring-jdbc-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
<beans:bean id="jobRepository" class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.support.SimpleJobRepository">
<beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapJobInstanceDao"/>
</beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapJobExecutionDao" />
</beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapStepExecutionDao"/>
</beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:constructor-arg> <!-- Extra constructor argument -->
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapExecutionContextDao"/>
</beans:constructor-arg>
</beans:bean>
If you get an java.lang.reflect.MalformedParameterizedTypeException this means there are some class that is trying to use a method by means of reflection, but it has malformed the parameters needed to call it.
This is common when you have wrong dependencies, that is, when you are using wrong dependency version and thus a dependent method has changed its parameters list.
I created a void pom.xml with only spring-batch-core version 3.0.5.RELEASE and it gives me the following dependencies list:
aopalliance-1.0.jar
com.ibm.jbatch-tck-spi-1.0.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
javax.batch-api-1.0.jar
jettison-1.2.jar
spring-aop-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-batch-core-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-batch-infrastructure-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-beans-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-context-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-core-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-expression-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
spring-retry-1.1.0.RELEASE.jar
spring-tx-4.0.5.RELEASE.jar
xmlpull-1.1.3.1.jar
xpp3_min-1.1.4c.jar
xstream-1.4.7.jar
So as you can see, you are using spring version 4.1.8.RELEASE instead 4.0.5.RELEASE. This could be the cause of your error.
Please review your hand managed dependencies to fit those I shown you. Maybe it resolves your problem.
Hope it helps!
To solve the problem I need to use Spring Batch 2.2.7 together with Weblogic 12.1.3.
I thought that The error was configuration in my xml file but It seems that is a support issue with weblogic, because I found a similar error later.
The dependency list:
aopalliance-1.0.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
jettison-1.1.jar
spring-aop-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
spring-batch-core-2.2.7.RELEASE.jar
spring-batch-infrastructure-2.2.7.RELEASE.jar
spring-beans-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
spring-context-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
spring-core-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
spring-expression-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
spring-retry-1.0.2.RELEASE.jar
spring-tx-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
spring-web-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
spring-webmvc-3.2.9.RELEASE.jar
xpp3_min-1.1.4c.jar
xstream-1.3.jar

Junit test spring controller mockMvc #ContextConfiguration

I'm writing my test cases with MockMvc. This is how my controller looks like:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#WebAppConfiguration
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/local-applicationContext-database.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-common.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-dao.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-service.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-ehcache.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-aop.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext-transaction.xml",
"classpath:/WEB-INF/context/local-applicationContext-host.xml"
})
public class ControllerTest {
#Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Before
public void setup() {
this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.wac).build();
}
But I am gettinG ApplicationContext errors:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean (the beans which are defines inside the above inluded conext files).
If I us e the same configuration with old approach (i.e without using MockMvc , it works)
Any suggestions what is wrong here?

The problem is spelled at the end of your stack trace:
Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/cache/ehcache-config.xml]
This most likely means that Spring's MockServletContext is not configured correctly.
Please note the Spring TestContext Framework creates a MockServletContext for your test's ApplicationContext whenever you annotate your test class with #WebAppConfiguration. Furthermore, the default resource path for #WebAppConfiguration is file:src/main/webapp (i.e., from the file system, not from the classpath).
But based on the paths that you pass to #ContextConfiguration in your example, you obviously have the WEB-INF folder in your classpath. So it appears that your project directory layout does not follow Maven standards for a web application.
To get your test working, you'll need to ensure that you properly configure the root of your web application with #WebAppConfiguration.
For example, if you insist on having your web artifacts in the classpath, you could do something like #WebAppConfiguration("classpath:xyz") where xyz is the folder in your classpath that serves as the root of your web application.
However, I would strongly recommend that you do not store all of your web artifacts in the classpath. You really should store web artifacts (including the WEB-INF folder) outside of the classpath. By "web artifacts" I mean things like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, JSPs, etc. But I do not mean that you have to store your Spring XML configuration files outside the classpath. I actually recommend that you store your Spring configuration files in the classpath (e.g., src/main/resources if following Maven's directory layout) and then reference them in the classpath (as you have done above but without storing them in a folder named WEB-INF in the classpath).
Hope this helps!

Spring set parameter to AOP method

all!
I cant solve problem with AOP Spring. I have a class
public class Minstrel {
public void singBefore(Knight knight) {
System.out
.println("Fa la la; Sir" + knight.getName() + " is so brave!");
}
public void singAfter(Knight knight) {
System.out.println("Tee-hee-he; Sir" + knight.getName()
+ " did embark on a quest!");
}
}
Methods of this class will react to embarkOnQuest() method in Knight class. How to set Knight object as parameter to singBefore(Knight knight) and singAfter(Knight knight)? It must be in XML file? XML file:
<bean id="grail" class="au.adelaide.knight_example.grail.HolyGrail" />
<bean id="quest" class="au.adelaide.knight_example.quest.HolyGrailQuest">
<property name="grail" ref="grail" />
</bean>
<bean id="knight" class="au.adelaide.knight_example.knight.RoundTableKnight">
<constructor-arg value="Arthur" />
<property name="quest" ref="quest" />
</bean>
<bean id="minstrel" class="au.adelaide.knight_example.minstrel.Minstrel" />
<aop:config>
<aop:aspect ref="minstrel">
<aop:pointcut id="questPointcut"
expression="execution(* *.embarkOnQuest(..))" />
<aop:before method="singBefore" pointcut-ref="questPointcut" arg-names="knight" />
<aop:after-returning method="singAfter"
pointcut-ref="questPointcut" arg-names="knight" />
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>

Thanks for your answers.
Try this -
...
<bean id="minstrel" class="com.springinaction.chapter01.knight.Minstrel"/>
<aop:config>
<aop:aspect ref="minstrel">
<aop:pointcut id="questPointcut" expression="execution(* *.embarkOnQuest(..)) and target(bean)" />
<aop:before method="singBefore" pointcut-ref="questPointcut" arg-names="bean" />
<aop:after-returning method="singAfter" pointcut-ref="questPointcut" arg-names="bean" />
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>
...
This is similar to -
public class KnightOfTheRoundTable implements Knight {
…
private Minstrel minstrel;
public void setMinstrel(Minstrel minstrel) {
this.minstrel = minstrel;
}
…
public HolyGrail embarkOnQuest() throws QuestFailedException {
minstrel.singBefore(this);
HolyGrail grail = quest.embark();
minstrel.singAfter(this);
return grail;
}
}
Try with
<aop:pointcut id="questPointcut"
expression="execution(* *.embarkOnQuest(..)) and this(knight)" />
That use the this poincut designator in the parameter binding form.

Introducing new functionality with Spring AOP

I am learning Spring using the Spring In Action (Edition 3) book. I have come across an example in the book thats not working for me. Following is the detail:
I am trying to use Spring AOP to introduce new functionality in a bean:
Here is the class structure:
Instrumentalist implements Performer
GraciousContestant implements Contestant
Performer interface
public interface Performer {
void perform();
}
Class Instrumentalist
package chapter4;
public class Instrmentalist implements Performer {
public void perform() {
System.out.println("Sining hey hey, hey");
}
}
Contestant Interface
package chapter4;
public interface Contestant {
void receiveAward();
}
GraciousContestant Class
package chapter4;
public class GraciousContestant implements Contestant {
public void receiveAward() {
System.out.println("Won a car worth 4K!");
}
}
My spring configuaration file called "spring-idol2.xml" is as below:
<?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:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.1.xsd">
<bean id="ken" class="chapter4.Instrmentalist" />
<bean id="contestantDelegate" class="chapter4.GraciousContestant" />
<aop:config>
<aop:aspect>
<aop:declare-parents
types-matching="chapter4.Performer+"
implement-interface="chapter4.Contestant"
delegate-ref="contestantDelegate"/>
</aop:aspect>
<aop:aspect ref="ken">
<aop:pointcut id="performance"
expression="execution(* chapter4.Performer.perform(..))" />
<aop:after pointcut-ref="performance" method="receiveAward"/>
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>
</beans>
My Main method looks like this:
package chapter4;
import org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class TestMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
AbstractApplicationContext context =
new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/chapter4/spring-idol2.xml");
Performer p1 = (Performer) context.getBean("ken");
p1.perform();
}
}
What is supposed to be printed out is as follows:
Sining hey hey, hey
Won a car worth 4K!
However I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'ken' defined in class path resource [chapter4/spring-idol2.xml]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.aop.aspectj.DeclareParentsAdvisor#0': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'contestantDelegate' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'contestantDelegate' defined in class path resource [chapter4/spring-idol2.xml]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJPointcutAdvisor#0': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.aop.aspectj.AspectJAfterAdvice] while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.aop.config.MethodLocatingFactoryBean] while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to locate method [receiveAward] on bean [ken]

Could someone kindly explain to me why it says "Unable to locate method [receiveAward] on bean [ken]" even though I have declared a parent? Is the syntax wrong?
Thank you very much,
regards,
Khush.
Note that <aop:config> sees beans before aspects are applied, therefore I guess that you can't use methods introduced by <aop:declare-parents> in other aspect declarations.
If you want to check whether <aop:declare-parents> worked, you can do something like this:
Performer p1 = (Performer) context.getBean("ken");
p1.perform();
((Contestant) p1).reveiveAward();
I think when you write
<aop:aspect ref="ken">
...
</aop:aspect>
what you are saying is that the aspect is implemented in the bean named "ken". This is not the case in your example, the aspect is in the bean "contestantDelegate". So I would try with;
<aop:aspect ref="contestantDelegate">
...
</aop:aspect>
