First time user:There are no caller pointcuts! error

[johnptoohey]

Hi,

I am trying to apply an interceptor to a production application. I have a simple interceptor that simply logs when it is called and calls invoke.

I'm using JDK 1.4, latest build of JBoss. I get the following error :-

[aopc] [trying to transform] com.metarisk.interceptors.GetGamesInterceptor
[aopc] [debug] There are no caller pointcuts!
[aopc] [debug] was com.metarisk.interceptors.GetGamesInterceptor converted: false
[aopc] [no comp needed] /Users/john/Dev/parspro-core-cache/build/classes/com/metarisk/interceptors/GetGamesInterceptor.class


My jboss-aop.xml file looks like this :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE aop PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS AOP 1.0//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/aop/dtd/jboss-aop_1_0.dtd">

<aop>
 <bind pointcut="execution(* com.simplydeliver.ppt.gamemgr.GamesBean->getGames(..))">
 <interceptor class="com.metarisk.interceptors.GetGamesInterceptor"/>
 </bind >
</aop>

My Ant code is like this :-

 <target name="aopc" depends="compile">
 <aopc compilerclasspathref="project.class.path" classpathref="project.class.path" verbose="true">
 <classpath refid="run.class.path" />
 <src path="${build.dir}/classes" />
 <aoppath path="src/conf/jboss-aop.xml" />
 </aopc>
 </target>

Any pointers would be appreciated.

It is not an error. It just means that the class currently inspectecd by the weaver has no callers with caller side pointcuts :-)

Thanks for the response. Sorry for being a bit dense here, but is there something else I need to do, in order to have the interceptor called whenever my EJB code is called.

Thanks for your help

Since you are using compile-time weaving, you need to pass in the jboss-aop,xml using the jboss.aop.path system property when running your app - as shown here (and in the tutorial examples:
