Spring Error creating bean with name ‘org.springframework.aop.config.internalAutoProxyCreator error
I’m trying to do a simple program for Spring AOP. Its code is as follows: BusinessService .java
package com.kruders.spring.aop;
public interface BusinessService {
void doSomeThing();
}
BusinessImpl.java
package com.kruders.spring.aop;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
public class BusinessImpl implements BusinessService {
public void doSomeThing() {
System.out.println("Do Something Here");
}
}
The business side is .java
package com.kruders.spring.aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;
public class BusinessAspect {
public void before() {
System.out.println("Before method is called");
}
public void after() {
System.out.println("After method is called");
}
public void afterReturning() {
System.out.println("After returning method is called");
}
public void afterThrowing() {
System.out.println("After throwing method is called");
}
public void around(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
System.out.println("Around method is called");
System.out.println("Around before is running");
joinPoint.proceed();
System.out.println("Around after is running");
}
}
Master .java
package com.kruders.spring.core;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import com.kruders.spring.aop.BusinessService;
public class Main {
public static void main(String args[]) {
ApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Spring-Business.xml");
BusinessService businessService = (BusinessService)appContext.getBean("businessService");
businessService.doSomeThing();
}
}

I’ve included all the AOP jars and am using spring-4.3.6
Spring Aop Jars-:
aspectj-1.6.9,aspectj-DEVELOPMENT-20160512153500,aspectjrt,aspectj-weaver,spring-aop jars
But I still get the error.

Solution
Looks like this is a classpath issue. There are some conflicts between the aspectj and spring-aop jars discussed here .
Your project has been ported to the Maven project, and here is the pom .xml

Also in the main class,
ApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Spring-Business.xml");
One warning is that appContext is not closed. appContext is a ResourceLoader that performs some I/O operations, and it is essential to release resources after performing I/O operations. So, change it to ClassPathXmlApplicationContext, which contains the .close() method to free up resources, which you can do in finally blockMore precisely.
To summarize, the main methods are as follows:
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
"Spring-Business.xml");
BusinessService businessService = (BusinessService) appContext.getBean("businessService");
businessService.doSomeThing();
appContext.close();
Hope this helps! Good luck!
