1.1.2 Dependencies not complete.

[drekka]

I've included 1.1.2 into a gradle project using this:

compile "org.springframework.retry:spring-retry:1.1.2.RELEASE"

However when I attempted to run the war file I get this exception:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Around
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366) ~[na:1.7.0_45]
....

It appears that there are dependencies which have not been resolved or downloaded. Is there something missing from the POM?

[garyrussell]

spring-retry has no runtime dependencies on AspectJ.

Perhaps something else in your application is referencing it?

[ek-ex]

I have the same problem as drekka, it's a completely new project just to test spring-retry with only spring retry and spring boot.

[garyrussell]

AspectJ is only needed if you are using @Retry annotations so the project doesn't have it as a hard dependency because it's not needed if you are programmatically configuring or using XML.

[drekka]

Given that annotations are the way things are going, I would suggest that making AspectJ a dependency would be a good idea. XML configs are old school (and a pain to maintain) and programmatic is what people do when they need something not provided by out of the box annotations.

FWIW, I agree with @drekka. I came here with the same issue. Now I need to go figure out what version of AspectJ to manually include.

EDIT:
For anyone else who comes across this and is also using Spring Boot, including spring-boot-starter-aop solved this for me and ensured versioning compatibility with the rest of Spring Boot.

I agree with @drekka too.

My workaround was to add following dependency into my pom:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
</dependency>

I tried adding both spring-aspects and spring-aop together with aspectjtools aspectjrt and aspectjweaver but I keep getting
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Pointcut
same thing with spring-boot-starter-aop so I'm not sure what to do next at this point

The relevant part of my Spring xml looks like this

        xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
                           http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
                           http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd
                           http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd"
       default-init-method="initialize" default-destroy-method="destroy">
    <context:annotation-config />

    <aop:aspectj-autoproxy />

    <bean class="org.springframework.retry.annotation.RetryConfiguration" />

I am just trying to be able to use a @Retryable annotation before one of my methods

[dsyer]

Sound like you need to read up on Spring AOP (and probably stop using <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>). Anyway this is kind of unrelated to the original (closed) issue.

[Ghilteras]

I only use Spring AOP because it's needed by Spring Retry and I don't have a @Configuration class so I need to do it with xml. Not sure why I should stop using <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>

Will file a new issue, thanks.
