BeanCreationException from Spring with annotation "@Context" and "@Loggable"


I have web application using Spring, Apache CXF and Jetty. Spring doesn't like the addition of an annotation called @Loggable to methods in one of my classes.

First, the annotation @Loggable links to the class LogAspect, which logs request and response messages:

@Aspect
@Component
public class LogAspect {

     ...
     ...
        @Around("execution(* * (..)) && @annotation(Loggable)")
        public Object logAround(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {

          ...
          if ( returnValue != null) {
                logger.infoRequestResponse(clazz, name, joinPoint.getArgs(), returnValue);
          } else {
                logger.infoRequestResponse(clazz, name, joinPoint.getArgs(), "void");
          }
          return returnValue;
        }
}

I'm guessing it has something to do with the @Context-annotation, and what is being injected when.

The class is an implementation of a RESTful service. The private member request has the annotation @Context on it:

@org.springframework.stereotype.Service(value = "resellerService")
public class ResellerServiceImpl implements ResellerService {

    @Context
    private HttpServletRequest request;
...
...
    @Loggable
    @Override
    public Response isUserLoggedIn() {
        Optional<ResellerSession> maybeSession = getSessionFromContext();
        return Response.ok(maybeSession.isPresent()).build();
    }

The addition of the @Loggable-annotation on a the isUserLoggedIn method gives me the following exception:

So I tried taking away the @Context on the request, and adding it to a setter method instead:

private HttpServletRequest request;

@Context
public void setRequest(HttpServletRequest request) { this.request = request; }

which gives me this exception instead:

Anyone has any ideas on how to solve this?

EDIT

I cannot show my entire pom.xml, but I do have this line 4.1.6.RELEASE

And the build looks and works fine. All other annotations such as @Autowired works fine.


Solution

  • I have now received help on how to resolve this issue. In short, the @Context annotation had to be moved into the method of the interface that the class implemented.

    The solution is as follows:

    1. Removed the private member HttpServletRequest request and its @Context annotation.
    2. Add the HttpServletRequest as parameter to the methods that use it. Example:

      public Response registerUser(HttpServletRequest request,...) {

    3. Add the @Context annotation to the REST interface instead. Example:

      @Path("register/user")
      @POST
      @Consumes("application/json")

      Response registerUser(@Context HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, ..);
