I want to test the AOP with spring boot, hence I imported this dependency in my
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-aop</artifactId>
</dependency>
Then i created two classes, one for configuration and an other responsible for weaving aspect.
AspectConfig.class
@Configuration
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@ComponentScan("com.douineau.aspect")
public class AspectConfig {
}
And the other class, which does nothing special except testing if it's working well :
ControllerAspect.class
@Aspect
@Component
public class ControllerAspect {
@Pointcut("execution(* com.douineau.aspect.ControllerAspect.testAop(..))")
public void callingRequest() {
System.out.println("Pointcut method done");
}
@Before("callingRequest()")
public void beforeAdvice( ) {
System.out.println("Before advice");
}
public void testAop() {
System.out.println(getClass().getName());
}
}
When i'm calling the method c.testAop()
, it is supposed to enter in the method callingRequest()
with the parameterized @Pointcut("execution(* com.douineau.aspect.ControllerAspect.testAop(..))")
annotation.
But it don't...
An other thing to really understand, does it would be more pertinent to place the @EnableAspectJAutoProxy
annotation directly after the @SpringBootApplication
of the main SpringBoot launcher ?
Thank you for your help.

From Spring framework reference documentation:
Here the pointcut expression is targeting an Aspect , which is not possible in Spring AOP.
For a Spring Boot application , one need not explicitly declare
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
. Please read through this question and answerAs long as the recommeded structuring is followed , your aspects should be picked without explicitly specifying a
@ComponentScan
