Here is the AOP-Config file. I am using Spring AspectJ
<aop:config>
<aop:pointcut id="allServiceMethodsWithAnnot"
expression="@within(org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional) ||
@annotation(org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional)" />
<aop:pointcut id="allHPBMethods" expression="execution(* com.aon..*HPB.*(..))" />
<aop:advisor advice-ref="txAdvice" pointcut-ref="allServiceMethodsWithAnnot" />
<aop:aspect id="eventSyncAspect" ref="eventTransactionSync">
<aop:before method="eventSync" pointcut-ref="allServiceMethodsWithAnnot" />
</aop:aspect>
<aop:aspect id="exceptionHandlingAspect" ref="exceptionHandling">
<aop:after-throwing throwing="ex"
method="afterHibernateException" pointcut-ref="allServiceMethodsWithAnnot" />
</aop:aspect>
<aop:aspect id="hibernatePersistenceBrokerAspect" ref="hibernatePersistenceBrokerInterceptor">
<aop:around method="doProfilling" pointcut-ref="allHPBMethods" />
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>
And getting the following error
exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error Type referred to is not an annotation type: org$springframework$transaction$annotation$Transactional
