AOP not applied

[chaitanya_r]

I am creating a simple program to learn AOP, but AOP is not getting applied to my program.

My configuration file is helloAop.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
[url]http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd[/url]
[url]http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop[/url]
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.0.xsd">
    <bean id="greetingService"
        class="com.springinaction.chapter01.helloAop.GreetingServiceImpl">
        <property name="greeting" value="Hello World!" />
    </bean>
    <bean id="aopbean" class="com.springinaction.chapter01.helloAop.AopBean" />
    <aop:config>
        <aop:aspect ref="aopbean">
            <aop:pointcut id="samplePointcut" expression="execution(* *.sayGreeting(..))" />
            <aop:before method="sampleBefore" pointcut-ref="samplePointcut" />
            <aop:after-returning method="sampleAfter"
                pointcut-ref="samplePointcut" />
        </aop:aspect>
    </aop:config>
</beans>

GreetingServiceImpl Java file is:

package com.springinaction.chapter01.helloAop;

public class GreetingServiceImpl implements GreetingService {
    private String greeting;

    public GreetingServiceImpl() {
    }

    public GreetingServiceImpl(String greeting) {
        this.greeting = greeting;
    }

    public void sayGreeting() {
        System.out.println(greeting);
    }

    public void setGreeting(String greeting) {
        this.greeting = greeting;
    }
} 

My program to access bean from configuration file is HelloApp.java:

package com.springinaction.chapter01.helloAop;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResource;

public class HelloApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(new FileSystemResource(
                "helloAop.xml"));
        GreetingService greetingService = (GreetingService) factory
                .getBean("greetingService");
        greetingService.sayGreeting();
    }
} 

When I am running HelloApp.java file I am getting below output:

Feb 22, 2013 3:37:22 PM org.springframework.core.CollectionFactory <clinit>
INFO: JDK 1.4+ collections available
Feb 22, 2013 3:37:22 PM org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader loadBeanDefinitions
INFO: Loading XML bean definitions from file [D:\Chaitanya\Others\Learning\Workspaces\Spring\SpringExamples1\helloAop.xml]
Hello World! 

AOP is not getting applied to GreetingServiceImple bean, please help me in solving my issue.

My problem solved, I have to use ApplicationContext instead of BeanFactory.
