AOP on @Controller doesn't work

[techiemails@yahoo.com]

Hello All,

I am trying to insert an aspect to find the method execution time on my Controller (annotated with @Controller)

I have the <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/> on my applicationContext.xml file.

I am using the pointcut to invoke on a specific method on the controller say - com.test.tech.MyController.test(..)

 @Pointcut("within(@org.springframework.stereotype.Controller *)")
    public void controllerBean() {}

 @Pointcut("execution(* com.test.tech.MyController.test(..))")
    public void methodPointcut() {}

 @Around("controllerBean() && methodPointcut() ")
 public Object logTimeMethod(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
   //do something
 }

This is not getting executed at all. Any thoughts would be really useful.

Thanks & Regards
Surya

Please use the forum search as these questions have been answered before.

In short Bean(Factory)PostProcessor in a parent context (ContextLoaderListener) have no influence on beans in child contexts (DispatcherServlet) and AOP is applied using this mechanism and as such your configuration is pretty much useless.

Move it to the DispatcherServlet... Also why define a controller pointcut and a very specific method execution pointcut, seems like overkill...
