AOP not working for Controllers

[vikrant chavan]

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:

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

}

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

}

And configuration as:

     <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.

[Marten Deinum]

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.
