NoClassDefFoundError while using spring aop

Question

I have gone through other question based on this topic but they didn't help.

This is my SpringConfiguration.xml:

 <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd">

    <bean id="game" class="SpringAoP.Game"></bean>

    <bean id="audience" class="SpringAoP.Audience"></bean>

    <aop:config>
        <aop:aspect ref="audience">
            <aop:pointcut id="play" expression="execution(* SpringAoP.Game.Play(..))"></aop:pointcut>
            <aop:before pointcut-ref="play"  method="takeSeats"></aop:before>
            <aop:before pointcut-ref="play"  method="shout"></aop:before>
            <aop:after method="applaud" pointcut-ref="play"></aop:after>
            <aop:after-throwing  method="badApplaud" pointcut-ref="play"></aop:after-throwing>

        </aop:aspect>
    </aop:config>


</beans>

This is my Game.java:

package SpringAoP;


public class Game {

    public void Play(){
        System.out.println("Game Started");
    }
    public void enter(){
        System.out.println("Jump Jump wowowowowowwwhahaaa");
    }
}

This is my Audience.java:

package SpringAoP;

public class Audience {
    //before match
    public void takeSeats(){
        System.out.println("Audience are now seated");
    }

    public void shout(){
        System.out.println("Manchester Utd  ! OOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOOOO");
    }

    //after match
    public void applaud(){
        System.out.println("TATATATATATATATATATA!!! Great Game");
    }

    public void badApplaud(){
        System.out.println("boooooooo ! Bad Game");
    }
}

This is my main class:

package SpringAoP;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;


    public class StartGame {
        public static void main(String[] args){
            ApplicationContext ac = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Game.xml");

            Game football = (Game) ac.getBean("game");
            football.enter();
        }
    }

When I run the program I get a NoClassDefFoundError:

This is the stackTrace:

this kind of error occur only when some jar is missing or not given to build tool. check your project build setup. i am working in eclispe, i have no idea about netbean. — ankush yadav, Jun 28 '16 at 04:07

Try to add aopalliance in your dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>aopalliance</groupId>
    <artifactId>aopalliance</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

I am using netbeans! can u please tell me how i can do that – Sumanth Jois Jun 28 '16 at 04:03
I know how to add jar files!! can u get me the link for aopalliance – Sumanth Jois Jun 28 '16 at 04:03
@Jois, Suggestion: use build tools to manage your dependency, like maven, gradle, sbt etc. – chengpohi Jun 28 '16 at 04:06

Hi @Jois, can look this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1457863/what-causes-and-what-are-the-differences-between-noclassdeffounderror-and-classn) it tell you about your error, you might get something from it, and this is some dependecy is missing in your case only. – ankush yadav Jun 28 '16 at 04:12
@ankushyadav I am damn sure too that this is a dependecy error!! but how do i fix this!! i have added all the jar files i can!! what jar files are you usin? – Sumanth Jois Jun 28 '16 at 04:13
we are using maven build tool, we are not really trust on any IDE, which build tool r you using, because maven download internal dependency. – ankush yadav Jun 28 '16 at 04:18

I think you may lack some dependencies.this is my aop demo pom it's work well.

 <dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.5.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
        <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
        <version>1.8.7</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>org.springframework.context</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.5.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-expression</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.5.release</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
        <artifactId>com.springsource.org.aspectj.weaver</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.2.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.aopalliance</groupId>
        <artifactId>com.springsource.org.aopalliance</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I am using netbeans . what should i do to add this dependency?? create a xml file add add this code it?? And how can inject it to the project? — Sumanth Jois, Jun 28 '16 at 04:22
