    <p>I'm having some problems getting load-time weaving to work with Spring in my Tomcat 6 webapp. I only want to use it for transactions (so that self-invocation respects transactional annotations, which it doesn't with AOP proxying). It appears that the weaver is being loaded, but my annotated classes aren't actually being woven. When I step through my code, I don't see any transaction boundaries in SQL logs, as I was seeing with regular AOP proxy configuration. Here's my setup:</p> <p>In server.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Context path="/api" allowLinking="true" reloadable="false" docBase="/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/API/ROOT" workDir="/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/API/ROOT/work"&gt; &lt;Loader loaderClass="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader"/&gt; &lt;/Context&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've got spring-tomcat-weaver.jar tomcat/lib directory, and the following jars on my Tomcat classpath:</p> <p>tomcat/webapps/API/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/aspectjweaver.jar tomcat/webapps/API/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/spring-aspects.jar</p> <p>This is in the bean config file where the annotated service classes are defined:</p> <pre><code>&lt;tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="txManager" mode="aspectj"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>In one of the many other bean config files in my context:</p> <pre><code>&lt;aop:aspectj-autoproxy&gt; &lt;aop:include name="methodTimer"/&gt; &lt;/aop:aspectj-autoproxy&gt; &lt;context:load-time-weaver aspectj-weaving="on"/&gt; &lt;context:annotation-config /&gt; &lt;bean name="methodTimer" class="tv.current.web.aop.MethodTimer" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>I want MethodTimer to use regular AOP proxying, not LTW - LTW should only apply to @Transactional annotations. As described here: <a href="http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/aop.html#aop-aj-configure" rel="noreferrer">http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/aop.html#aop-aj-configure</a>. If I comment out <code>&lt;aop:aspectj-autoproxy&gt;</code> element, I don't get any of the weaving info log messages I see otherwise. Speaking of which, here they are; you can see that aspects are getting loaded but nothing is actually being woven:</p> <pre><code>Aug 28, 2009 6:34:42 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO: Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] info AspectJ Weaver Version 1.6.5 built on Thursday Jun 18, 2009 at 03:42:32 GMT [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] info register classloader org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] info using configuration file:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/API/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/spring-aspects.jar!/META-INF/aop.xml [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] warning ignoring duplicate definition: jar:file:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/API/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/spring-aspects.jar!/META-INF/aop.xml [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] info register aspect org.springframework.beans.factory.aspectj.AnnotationBeanConfigurerAspect [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] info register aspect org.springframework.transaction.aspectj.AnnotationTransactionAspect [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] info processing reweavable type org.springframework.beans.factory.aspectj.AbstractInterfaceDrivenDependencyInjectionAspect$ConfigurableDeserializationSupport: org/springframework/beans/factory/aspectj/AbstractInterfaceDrivenDependencyInjectionAspect.aj [TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader@34fe7e0e] info successfully verified type org.springframework.beans.factory.aspectj.AnnotationBeanConfigurerAspect exists.

Because I specified the right ClassLoader in server.xml and am seeing the loader getting used. Am I mistaken about this? Do I need spring-agent.jar anywhere, either in tomcat/lib or my tomcat classpath? Do I need aspectjweaver.jar in tomcat/lib? What else am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been wrestling with this for almost two days now.</p> <p>Edit: One more (perhaps very important) detail I omitted - I'm developing in Eclipse and using the Sysdeo Tomcat Plugin to start Tomcat. Will try starting Tomcat from the command line and see if that makes a difference...</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
