Exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/aspectj/lang/annotation/Aspect

java spring aop aspectj spring-aop

Solution 1

A NoClassDefFoundError like this in a maven project is usually from a library conflict. There is insufficient information in the question, you only provide a snippet of your pom and don't show the version of spring aspects you are using. You need to run mvn dependency:tree and verify you are using consistent version numbers of all of the aspectj depenendecies.

Edit: There is definitely some kind of library conflict because you mention spring-aspects 3.2.1.RELEASE in the question, but the stack trace contains a lot of references to spring 3.1.1.RELEASE libraries.

Solution 2

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/aspectj/lang/annotation/Aspect

It seems jar containing class org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect is not loaded from classpath at runtime, can you try removing below dependency:

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

and add below in your classpath:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Solution 3

Answer to your Question

  1. If you are using Spring 3.2.1.RELEASE, please change your group id as net.anthavio.maven, I find only aspectjweaver.1.7.4.jar file is presented as a dependency. Please change your dependency for aspectjweaver as 1.7.4 version.
  2. It is always recommended to use the Bill of Materials when you are using Spring 3.X and above.
  3. I have given an example POM, you can validate accordingly to match with your existing POM.

  1. It is recommended to choose Spring-3.2.10.RELEASE version as a standard version at is released on latest than your version mentioned in your question. It applies to this specific context only. Else I would recommend to upgrade your JAR files to Spring 4.X version.

Solution 4

In order to check that your war was wrapped with the suitable jar (aspectrj - that really contain this class -org.aspect.lang.annotation.Aspect).

Try (within eclipse) to add this dependency manually.

right click on the project -> Deployment Assembly -> add -> Archives from file system -> pick the aspectjrt-1.7.1.jar (you can find it in your local .m2 repo). apply run the new war -> now the war should include this dependency. If the error message is gone -> that indicates that something went wrong with war packaging goal.

    I recently started working on AspectJ and wrote a simple Aspect for Logging.

    I have defined below dependencies into my pom file:

            <dependency>
            <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
        </dependency>

    And Following artifacts are present in ear/lib folder:

    • aspectjrt-1.7.1.jar
    • aspectjweaver-1.7.1.jar
    • spring-aspects-3.2.1.RELEASE.jar

    I am getting below exception on service startup.:

    Edit 1 - I am using JBOSS 7.1 and I think there are some issues with AspejctJ and JBOSS.

    There are no conflicts. I have verified it.

    You either have a typo in your question or you have conflicting versions of libraries. You should not have any 3.1.1.RELEASE versions of libraries (like in your stack trace) with 3.2.1.RELEASE version of spring aspects.

    This is unnecessary, spring-aspects depends on spring-aop. Maven pulls this in transitively without your edits. Also, Aspect is not missing. He's not getting a NoClassFoundException, which would means its missing, He's getting a NoClassDefFoundError which just means the class wasn't loaded.
