you can look at this example for a better explanation on Spring AOP – http://veerasundar.com/blog/2010/01/spring-aop-example-profiling-method-execution-time-tutorial/

Will get back to you shortly with a working solution.

Helloworld.java
—————————————-

public class HelloWorld{

static ApplicationContext ctx;
static HelloWorld helloWorld;

public void sayHello(String name){
System.out.println(“Hello ” + name);
}

public static void main(String args[]){

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(“applicationContext.xml”);
helloWorld = (HelloWorld)context.getBean(“helloWorldLoggerBean”);
System.out.println(“HelloWorld:”+helloWorld);
HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld();
hw.sayHello(“Priya”);
}
}

@Aspect
public class HelloWorldLoggerAspect{
@Pointcut(“execution(* test.*.*(..))”)
public void helloWorldMethods(){}
@Before(“helloWorldMethods()”)
@After(“helloWorldMethods()”)
public void logMethodCall(){
System.out.println(“The Hello World Method has been called.”);
}
}

application-context.xml

I’m getting a warning message in the application-context.xml.Remote location could not be loaded.

I added the Spring-context.jar in my classpath

Kindly reply .

I implemented your sample,but while configuring the application-context.xml,I’m getting

I’m getting Remote location not loaded error.

I added the Spring-context.jar in my classpath

To explain that point further, I’m quoting from Spring AOP’s documentation:

Spring AOP only supports method execution join points for Spring beans, so you can think of a pointcut as matching the execution of methods on Spring beans. A pointcut declaration has two parts: a signature comprising a name and any parameters, and a pointcut expression that determines exactly which method executions we are interested in. In the @AspectJ annotation-style of AOP, a pointcut signature is provided by a regular method definition, and the pointcut expression is indicated using the @Pointcut annotation (the method serving as the pointcut signature must have a void return type).

so that method is just a signature. It need not to have a function body!
