service mix + spring

[akshay_ajmani <ak...@gmail.com>]

 I had a query regarding using spring aspects with service mix. I read online
and on the apache service discussion forums that each apache service unit is
indirectly a spring configuration.
We have an application in which we plan to use spring aspects so that we
could do some logging (log4j)  before invocation of some methods. This
application has several SU’s with each SU has its own  xml file i.e
xbean.xml  or camel service unit having camel-context.xml.
I was thinking of defining spring aspects in each of these xml files. Can
you please suggest to me if this is the best approach available or is there
any other approach.
I thank you once again for your time.

Hi,

Yes xbean.xml is a pure Spring beans file.

It means that, in your SU, if you add a dependency (in the POM for 
example) to the spring-aop and aopalliance libs, you can use AOP in the 
xbean.xml.

Nevertheless, as each SU has its own classloader (by default), I think 
the best way is to add AOP definition in each xbean.xml.

To be honest, I have never try this but it should work :)

Regards
JB
