Strange issue with aspectj-maven-plugin's compile goal

Question

I have a spring roo project that I can build and run under sts/eclipse. However, when I run maven [mvn package], I systematically get the following errors:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

[ERROR] -> [Help 1]

Here is my WebApplicationInitializer class:

public class WebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        rootContext.register(BaseConfiguration.class);

        servletContext.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(rootContext));
        servletContext.addListener(new RequestContextListener());
        servletContext.addListener(new HttpSessionEventPublisher());

        servletContext.setInitParameter("defaultHtmlEscape", "true");

        FilterRegistration.Dynamic fr;

        fr = servletContext.addFilter("encodingFilter", new CharacterEncodingFilter());
        fr.setAsyncSupported(Boolean.TRUE);
        fr.setInitParameter("encoding", "UTF-8");
        fr.setInitParameter("forceEncoding", "true");
        fr.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, true, "/*");

        fr = servletContext.addFilter("hiddenHttpMethodFilter", new HiddenHttpMethodFilter());
        fr.setAsyncSupported(Boolean.TRUE);
        fr.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, true, "/*");

        fr = servletContext.addFilter("Spring OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter", new OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter());
        fr.setAsyncSupported(Boolean.TRUE);
        fr.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, true, "/*");

        fr = servletContext.addFilter("springSecurityFilterChain", new DelegatingFilterProxy());
        fr.setAsyncSupported(Boolean.TRUE);
        fr.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, true, "/*");

        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext mvcContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        mvcContext.register(WebMvcConfig.class);

        ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = servletContext.addServlet("bignibou", new DispatcherServlet(mvcContext));
        dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
        dispatcher.addMapping("/");

    }
}

Can anyone please help?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It turns out it was yet another issue with a maven dependency i.e. jstl impl.

By excluding the wrong version of the servlet api transitive dependency, the compilation errors were gone.

See below:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl-impl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<exclusions>
    <exclusion>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    </exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
