Conflict using <tx:annotation-driven and <aop:aspectj-autoproxy - spring

Question

I have been facing issue with following spring configuration. When i use txn:annotation alone it works fine, but when i try to use AOP it is causing exception.
Part of Spring config file:
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"
proxy-target-class="true"/>
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy >
<aop:include name="logging"/>
</aop:aspectj-autoproxy>
<bean id="dataSource" class = "com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource" destroy-method="close">
....
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource">
</bean>
<!--Aspect Annotation class-->
<bean id="logging" class="com.aop.LoggingAspect"></bean>
<!--Rest only other simple Business/DAO beans-->
Exception:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0': Bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0' has been injected into other beans [org.springframework.transaction.config.internalTransactionAdvisor] in its raw version as part of a circular reference, but has eventually been wrapped. This means that said other beans do not use the final version of the bean. This is often the result of over-eager type matching - consider using 'getBeanNamesOfType' with the 'allowEagerInit' flag turned off, for example.

I might be wrong at spring configuration, Please guide.

I can't see your beans definitions but it looks like you have circular dependencies. Because the names of the beans suggest that the problem occurs in spring beans and not your beans I guess you're defining things in a way that causes the problem. My guess is that you have some of your definitions defined in an XML and some defined with annotations.
For example - you define a class with #Transactional annotation and for the same class you define an aspect using XML.
