AOP : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 can't find referenced pointcut

Question

I am new to AOP. I got some problem like this.

package org.suman.Aspect; import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect; import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Before; import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Pointcut; @Aspect public class LoginAspect { //@Before("execution(public String getName())") //@Before("execution(public String org.suman.Model.Triangle.getName())") //@Before("execution(* get*())") //@Before("execution(* get*(..))") //@Before("execution(* org.suman.Model.*.get*())") //@Before("execution(* get*())&& within(org.suman.Model.Circle)") @Before("execution(* get*())&& allCircle()") //@Before("allGetters() && allCircle()") public void LoginAdvice() { System.out.println("Advice run.. getMethod is called"); } @Before("execution(* get*())") //@Before("allGetters()") public void SecondAdvice() { System.out.println("this is a second Advice"); } @Pointcut("execution(* get*())") public void allGetters(){} //@Pointcut("execution (* * org.suman.Model.Circle.*(..))") @Pointcut("within(org.suman.Model.Circle)") public void allCircle(){} }

when using pointcut, the method allGetters() to LoginAdvice method, if I use @Before("execution(* get*())") then no error but if I use @Before("allGetters()") then gives error

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 can't find referenced pointcut allGetters

if I use @Before("execution(* get*())&& within(org.suman.Model.Circle)") instead of method name it works.

My xml like this:

<?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-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd"> <!-- <context:annotation-config /> --> <aop:aspectj-autoproxy /> <bean name="triangle" class="org.suman.Model.Triangle"> <property name="name" value="Triangle Name"></property> </bean> <bean name="circle" class="org.suman.Model.Circle"> <property name="name" value="Circle name"></property> </bean> <bean name="shapeService" class="org.suman.Services.ShapeService" autowire="byName"></bean> <bean name="loginAspect" class="org.suman.Aspect.LoginAspect"></bean> </beans>

Please solve the problem with pointcut by which it takes method

I had this problem - using @Pointcut on a 'placeholder' method was giving me the "can't find referenced pointcut" error.

Solved simply by updating the AspectJ libraries with the maven dependencies from this:

 <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId> <version>1.5.4</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId> <version>1.5.4</version> </dependency>

to this

 <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId> <version>1.7.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId> <version>1.7.0</version> </dependency>

For curious people why it's failing with 1.5.4 and working with 1.7.0: stackoverflow.com/a/15683358/253468
Pretty cool...its unusual but yeah changing to latest worked for me...thanks @Forge_7
i am using java8 , tried with aspectj 1.7.0 and 1.8.10 but still facing the issue

I ran thjrough the same problem. Once i replace the aspectjweaver with the aspectjweaver-1.6.11.M2.jar version. Everything started working smoothly.

The problem can also be caused by running an early access version of JDK9.

Maven might be preferring a newer version of Java over the JVM in PATH.

In my case I'm running Spring with Swagger2 via Maven on Ubuntu 15.04, and I have installed java-8-oracle and java-9-oracle (and a few more versions). My java -version, derived from PATH, says 1.8.0_72, yet when I run Maven and change /usr/bin/mvn to echo JAVA_HOME, it shows to have selected /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-oracle.

Exporting JAVA_HOME to /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle made Maven use the desired version of Java, and that made the problems with AOP weaving of pointcuts for Spring's dependency injection wiring go away.

I also got similar issue with @Before advice not accepting @Pointcut method name as argument. I got this fixed by changing the dependencies version to:

<dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId> <version>1.6.11</version> </dependency> <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.aspectj/aspectjweaver --> <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId> <version>1.6.11</version> </dependency>

Its working fine for me now.

Encountered the same error in the different use case.

UseCase : Tried to call a pointcut which is present in different aspect class.

logServicePointCut1() pointcut present in LogService

package com.opensource.kms; @Aspect @Component public class LogService { @Pointcut("execution(* com.opensource.kms.AccountService.my*(..))") public void logServicePointCut1() { } }

Try to call in SecurityService

@Aspect @Component public class SecurityService { @Before("logServicePointCut1()") /*Need to give fully Qualified name*/ public void verifyUserBeforeSecurityService() { System.out.println("verifyUserBeforeSecurityService"); } }

Solution: Need to pass fully qualifed name com.opensource.kms.LogService.logServicePointCut1()

Hope this would helpful for someone!!

I believe you need to put another wildcard in front of:

@Pointcut("execution(* get*())")

change it to:

@Pointcut("execution(* *get*())")

You should change the aspectJWeaver version to be 1.6.x

I had this issue because the project was compiled in Java 1.6, but tomcat server started in Java 8.

DHEERAJ KUMAR GUPTA · Accepted Answer · 2019-03-13 14:22:23Z

It is the problem of dependencies. Following jars or dependencies of the exactly same version should be used to avoid such problems:

<dependency> <groupId>aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId> <version>1.5.2</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId> <version>1.8.10</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>asm</groupId> <artifactId>asm</artifactId> <version>3.3.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>aopalliance</groupId> <artifactId>aopalliance</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>cglib</groupId> <artifactId>cglib</artifactId> <version>2.2.2</version> </dependency>

Add this maven dependencies. This will resolve your issue.

Change the version to 1.6.12

What is "this maven dependencies"? Change version of what?

Brajesh · Accepted Answer · 2021-01-08 19:09:31Z

Please use below maven dependencies - I hope it will work

<dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId> <version>1.8.14</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId> <version>1.8.14</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency>

In my case, it was an error in the name of the method pointed out in pointcut in @AfterThrowing

All you had to do was adjust the method name to fit the note in AfterThrowing, and that's it!
