Environment:

sun java version "1.6.0_30". Roo 1.1.5.RELEASE [rev d3a68c3]. Linux 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

SpringSource Tool Suite
Version: 2.8.1.RELEASE
Build Id: 201111221000



 Description   

Set a break point in _Controller.aj file, an example shown below.
FooController_Roo_Controller [entry] - FooController.update(Foo, BindingResult, Model, HttpServletRequest)
FooController_Roo_Controller [entry] - FooController.updateForm(Long, Model)

Test the application and I am able to verify the break point is not getting triggered in STS IDE 2.8.1.

Workaround:

Cut the methods from FooController_Roo_Controller.aj and move it to FooController_Roo.java and repeat the exercise. Now I am able to verify the break points do get triggered.

I remember break points even when placed in the aj files getting triggered but that was long back. Can't remember in which version it worked and when it stopped working.

Thanks,

Hi Venkat,

Apologies for not responding earlier, but your issue was reported right before the holidays and slipped through.

I can try to reproduce using just the information you give me, but it would be helpful if you could attach the affected files.

I tried reproducing using the standard petclinic app. I set breakpoints at PetController.updateForm and PetController.update. Both breakpoints were hit as expected.

Are you running the AspectJ compiler with all default options? Also, in both cases, was the roo app functioning normally? Lastly, did you see any errors in your error log?
