AspectJ - Cannot register non aspect error

Question

I am trying to play with AspectJ and run time weaving. I have created an aspect

  @Aspect(value = "TraceAspect")
public class TraceAspect {
   @Around("execution(* *(..))")
   public Object around(ProceedingJoinPoint invocation) throws Throwable{

     System.out.println(String.format("Invocing %s", invocation.getSignature().getName()));
     try {
      Object ret = invocation.proceed();
      System.out.println(String.format("Done Invocing %s", invocation.getSignature().getName()));
      return ret;
     } catch (Throwable throwable) {
       throw throwable;

     }

   }
}

and my aop.xml file is

<aspectj>
<aspects>
    <aspect name="TraceAscpect"></aspect>
</aspects>
<weaver options="-debug -showWeaveInfo"/>

however when I run the program I get exception -

 java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot register non aspect: TraceAscpect , TraceAscpect

What did I forget to add?

Answer 1

Looks like you have spelt the name of your aspect wrong in your XML definition, it should be TraceAspect and you've put TraceAscpect.
