When the aspect is enabled, the @Autowired bean in BeanB becomes a proxy, and the name field is null. Why? What should I do if I wish the original code to work properly?
Here is the code:
public class BeanA
{
@Value("jami")
//public String name;
String name; //package visiblity
}
public class BeanB
{
@Autowired
private BeanA beanA;
public void noLongerWorks()
{
System.out.println(beanA.name);
}
}
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String[] configs = {"applicationContext.xml", "applicationContext-aop.xml"};//prints null
// String[] configs = {"applicationContext.xml"};//prints jami
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(configs);
BeanB beanB = ctx.getBean(BeanB.class);
beanB.noLongerWorks();
}
}

public class TestAspect
{
@Pointcut("target(aop.pack1.BeanA)")
public void pointcut() {}
@Before("pointcut()")
public void advice()
{
System.err.println("___________advice__________");
}
}
EDIT: I figured out one possible solution. But it does not seems very clean. Is there any elegant way to this? without making changes to existing code? The solution I found:
is to make all the fields in BeanA private, and only access them via getter setters.
This approach, however, requires a lot of modification of the original code (e.g. the BeanA class).
