AOP not working for Controllers

Hi all,
I am newbie to AOP, and i want to have around advice for methods in controller. My interceptor method is not invoked for controllers, however, it works for other packages. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

This is my controller:

Code:

---

@Controller
public class HomeController {
        @RequestMapping("/home.htm")
        public String redirect(HttpServletRequest request) {
                return "home";
        }

}

---

Code:

---

@Aspect
public class LoggingInterceptor {
        @Around("execution(* com.somepack.controller..*.*(..))")
        public Object invokeMethod(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable  {
                ...
                o = pjp.proceed();
                ...
                return o;
        }

}

---

And configuration as:

Code:

---

    <bean id=" loggingInterceptor" class="com.somepack.util.LoggingInterceptor" />

        <aop:aspectj-autoproxy>
            <aop:include name="loggingInterceptor" />
        </aop:aspectj-autoproxy>

---

Interceptor method is not invoked for "redirect" method of controller.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Is it in the same context (ie the servlet and not the contextloaderlistener)?

I have created a seperate file for AOP (beansdefinition_aop.xml) and I am loading it using contextloaderlistener.

aop only works for beans in the same applicationcontext, the contextloaderlistener and dispatcherservlet both have a seperate context. Load the aop in the dispatcherservlet.

It is working now. Thank you.
