开发Spring过程中几个常见异常（二）：Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'a' define

本异常是小编在运行自己另外一篇博文中的例子时遇到的。（附博文：http://www.cnblogs.com/dudududu/p/8482487.html）

完整异常信息：

看到这个异常，才疏学浅的小编也是一头雾水，查了几篇相关博主的博文和官网相关信息，结合自身运行环境和例子运行，并未找到解决的方法。

几经折腾，小编发现自己犯了个极其愚蠢的错误：

在AOP的配置文件中的一句：

<aop:before method="methodX1" pointcut="execution(*com.edu.aop.hello.A.*())"></aop:before>

其中使用到了通配符，第一个通配符"*"表示 public  void ,因此需和后面表达式代码留出空格。小编遇到的错误恰恰是未留空格造成的。

于是改成：

<aop:before method="methodX1" pointcut="execution(* com.edu.aop.hello.A.*())"></aop:before>

就可以完美运行了。

希望和小编遇到相同异常问题的同学能引以为戒。
