Spring MVC: mvn sonar fails when mvn test passes

Stranger things have happened. But this blows many a mind. mvn test on a restful services project with spring mvc succeeds but mvn sonar:sonar fails with 404s on controllers. This happens when the controllers are marked @transactional for the restful service to be exposed as a unit of work. Don't fret. Its easy to solve this.

This happens because unlike services which are generally proxied by thier interfaces, Controllers are generally defined without interfaces. The Controller methods are then proxied by cglib (when no interfaces exist) and are no longer visible in their qualified name after instrumention by sonar for code analysis.

Just add proxy-target-class="true" instruction to tx annotation driven in the test context. so the testContext.xml should have the following
<tx:annotation-driven proxy-target-class="true"/>
Where as the main application context can remain without proxying
<tx:annotation-driven/>

Being a Vegetarian

I am a Proud Vegetarian. I don't eat Meat or Eggs. People say its hard here in US to be one. I beg to differ. The mere fact that I am hail and healthy these 4 years is a definitive proof. Apart from being bullied and trash talked by The Meat-Eaters, There is really nothing that makes this choice of mine any more than a debatable issue at a lunch or dinner. Other things aside, I am writing this blog having watched a PETA Video. Before you click on the play button, I ask you - If you are a vegetarian : Dont watch it. If you are not : Dare to watch it till the end. If you think going veg is just a fashion, think again . Even if you just want to do it for Fashion . Do it. Go Vegetarian. And Feel better asking the waiter for a Vegetarian Entrée in your next lunch.
