No such method applying pointcut in Spring AOP to batch job

Question

I'm learning Spring AOP, and decided to use it for some performance monitoring on a batch job. I want to monitor the execution times of a jdbctemplate object's .update() method within a Spring Batch ItemWriter's write() method.

The relevant parts of my pom.xml:

  <dependency>
        <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
        <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
        <version>1.5.4</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>cglib</groupId>
        <artifactId>cglib-nodep</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.5</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.2.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.9.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

My spring configuration XML file:

<aop:config>
    <aop:pointcut id="writerMethods" expression="execution(* my.package.name.writers.IvrWriter.write())"/>
    <aop:advisor advice-ref="performanceMonitor" pointcut-ref="writerMethods" order="2"/>
</aop:config>

However, I'm receiving a NoSuchMethodError that I'm having some trouble understanding how to debug:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.aop.support.DefaultBeanFactoryPointcutAdvisor#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableBeanFactory.getSingletonMutex()Ljava/lang/Object;

I'm not even sure whether or not this is a dependency issue with Spring AOP, a syntax error in terms of how I am writing the pointcut expression, or something else. I have followed a tutorial accessedenter link description here here on how to write pointcut expressions. Can anyone direct me in the right direction?

from exception stacktrace:

NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableBeanFactory.getSingletonMutex()Ljava/lang/Object;

you should update in your pom.xml version for for spring aop afticat to version : 4.3.9.RELEASE . You use two different version for spting artifacts spring-aspects with 3.1.2.RELEASE and spring-aop with 4.3.9.RELEASE they are not compatible

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.9.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.9.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

better use properties variable in pom.xml

<properties>
     <spring.version>4.3.4.RELEASE</spring.version>
</properties>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
            <version>${spring.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
            <version>${spring.version}</version>
        </dependency>
