mode="aspectj". Transaction is not started for method declared in aspects

Hello,

I have an application where CRUD service's methods declared in aspects

Code:

---

privileged aspect AddressServiceImpl_Roo_Service {
   
    declare @type: AddressServiceImpl: @Service;
   
    declare @type: AddressServiceImpl: @Transactional;
   
    @Autowired
    AddressRepository AddressServiceImpl.addressRepository;
   
    public void AddressServiceImpl.deleteAddress(Address address) {
        addressRepository.remove(address);
    }
   
    public void AddressServiceImpl.saveAddress(Address address) {
        addressRepository.store(address);
    }
...

---

The transaction configuration:

Code:

---

    <tx:annotation-driven mode="aspectj" transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>

---

aspectj-maven-plugin 1.2 is used for compile time weaving.

Issue: When service's method is called from none transactional controller or integration test, transaction is not initiated on this method. If method is declared directly in serviceImpl.java, the transaction is started as expected.

Is there any limitation of aspectj and spring transactions?

Thank you for help,
Vladimir
