bean(nameOfBean) doesn't work with Spring Framework 5.0.1 on AspectJ 1.8.12 [SPR-16161]

[spring-projects-issues]

Francisco Lozano opened SPR-16161 and commented

Trying to upgrade to Spring 5.0.1. I'm using AspectJ 1.8.12 as per the release notes of 5.0.1, even if the issues referred to 1.9 RC.

This aspect worked well with 4.3:

	@Component
	@Aspect
	static class MonitorInterceptor extends PerformanceMonitorInterceptor {

		@Override
		@Pointcut("bean(s3Client)")
		public void auditable() {
		}
	}

static abstract class PerformanceMonitorInterceptor {

	public abstract void auditable();

	@Around("auditable()")
	public final Object audit(final ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable {
		String name = createName(pjp);
		String target = pjp.getSignature().getDeclaringTypeName();
		Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(target);

		StopWatch stopWatch = new StopWatch(name);
		stopWatch.start(name);
		try {
			return pjp.proceed();
		} finally {
			stopWatch.stop();
			logger.debug(stopWatch.shortSummary());
		}
	}

	private static String createName(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) {
		MethodSignature signature = (MethodSignature) pjp.getSignature();
		Method method = signature.getMethod();
		return method.getName();
	}
}

But in 5.0.1, I get:

If using aspectJ 1.8.11, it seems to work...

Francisco Lozano commented

using aspectj 1.9.0.RC1 also works ...

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller commented

Andy Clement, since this issue seems to be limited to AspectJ 1.8.12 in particular... could it be possibly a specific regression there? I'm rather puzzled that it seems to work with both 1.8.11 and 1.9 RC1 but not with 1.8.12 inbetween...

[spring-projects-issues]

Andy Clement commented

1.8.12 included some performance enhancements for Spring AOP. After release it was discovered one went a bit too far resulting in pointcut parsers sometimes having two underlying 'bean' handlers. If that happens then you get the error above. This was reverted in 1.9.0.RC1 until more thinking could be done and indeed the change isn't in the 1.8 master github now either. A 1.8.13 would behave the same as 1.9.0.RC1 - still a big boost to Spring AOP but without the dangerous change.

[spring-projects-issues]

Andy Clement commented

If you want to try it out, try 1.8.13.BUILD-SNAPSHOT which is on the snapshot repo.spring.io repository.

[spring-projects-issues]

Andy Clement commented

AspectJ 1.8.13 has just been sent off to central, hopefully be there in the next few hours. This should fix the issue.

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller commented

Alright, Andy - thanks to your timely work, I'll consider this as resolved for 5.0.2 then!

Master is upgraded to AspectJ 1.8.13 and 1.9 RC2 now.

[spring-projects-issues]

Francisco Lozano commented

Regardless of this fix, which version should be considered the right one to use in Spring 5.0? 1.9RC2 or 1.8.13?

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller commented

We're using 1.9 RC2 for building the spring-aspects module (for JDK 9 build compatibility of the ajc compiler) but keep exposing 1.8.13 for general purposes (in particular for pointcut evaluation). So for common AOP purposes, 1.8.13 is the reference version... even when running on JDK 9.

[spring-projects-issues]

Andrei Ivanov commented

Andy Clement A bit off topic, but where can the code changes for AspectJ be seen? I've been looking at the log of git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/aspectj/org.aspectj.git, but I don't too many see changes there.

[spring-projects-issues]

Andy Clement commented

Andrei Ivanov I need to do some tidying up, I currently have two active branches moving forward ahead of master and I need to switch the Java9 one to be master. Right now the branches are:

RB_V1_8 - the 1.8 release branch where the 1.8.13 work has been done

earlyJava9 - where the java9 work is being done.

I typically view it through github mirror:
