Pointcut on Spring JDBC classes not working

[Spektr]

I'm trying to create a pointcut on Spring JDBC classes.. specifically those that implement JdbcOperations.

@Pointcut("execution(* org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcOperations.*(..))")
    public void jdbcMethods() {}

Then I try some around advice.

@Around("jdbcMethods()")
    public Object time(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable {
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        Object obj = pjp.proceed();
        long time = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
        System.out.println(pjp.getSignature().getName() +" took "+ time +"ms");
        return obj;
    }

But it doesn't work. If I switch the pointcut expression to one of my own interfaces, it works as intended. What is wrong here?

And is the JdbcTemplate implementing that bean a spring managed bean or is it constructed INSIDE another spring managed bean?! I suggest a read of the AOP chapter regarding proxies and what can be proxied.

Great observation, my JdbcTemplate instance was within a spring-managed bean, but was not itself a spring-managed bean. Once I made that correction, everything works as I intended. Thanks!
