org.aspectj.lang.NoAspectBoundException - method <init>()V not found

Question

I had same problem as vanhre asked in Spring forum, but in my case I couldn't change the constructor.

I'm using Spring java configuration, so it was initializing ok during jetty start, but in runtime, when I executed the functionality with my aspect it failed with exactly the same exception from the forum.

Solution 1

I found later, that I need aspectjrt dependency in my pom.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.12</version>
</dependency>

edit: Missing dependency was an error, but real problem is Eclipse + aspects combination. When I used Eclipse to build my aspect class this error occurred. Additionally when I compiled class the aspect advice was for, aspect was not called.

solution: you have to use maven to build your application (I'd be glad if someone find solution for Eclipse, because I'm sure I'll forget this)

Solution 2

download http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/aspectj/aspectjrt/1.6.9/aspectjrt-1.6.9.jar and add to your project

I didn't understand what you wanted to say... I followed this link - blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/07/…

@Betlista.. Oh. I thought you wanted to edit your post. Its ok to answer your own question of course.

That library is many years old. The current version supporting Java 7 and 8 is 1.8.5. P.S.: And why are you answering an old question from 2012 with an already accepted answer anyway?

I have same problem and found the solution but not maven way.

I download aspectjrt-1.6.9.jar file directly and add it to my libraries, then problem solved.
