problem running simple aop!

[khalidhajsaleh]

I am trying to run simple example of MethodBeforeAdvice. For some reason, method calls are not intercepted. Any suggestions? thanks in advance.

Iitem is an interface. Book2 implements the interface.

my xml:
<!-- simple bean implements Iitem--> 
<bean id="book2" class="spring.test.Book2"/>    
	
<!-- The interceptor class --> 
<bean id="before" class="spring.test.LogBefore"/>
	
<!--Proxying --> 
<bean id="something" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean"> 
<property name="proxyInterfaces"><value>spring.test.Iitem</value></property> 
<property name="target"><ref local="book2"/></property> 
  <property name="interceptorNames"> 
  <list> 
  <value>before</value> 
  </list> 
  </property> 
 </bean> 

code&#58;

public class MainApplication &#123;

public static void main&#40;String&#91;&#93; args&#41; &#123;
        ApplicationContext ctx =
          new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext&#40;"spring/test/test-servlet.xml"&#41;;

        Iitem book2 = &#40;Iitem&#41;ctx.getBean&#40;"book2"&#41;;
        //somethig should happen here!
       book2.setName&#40;"book1"&#41;;
       System.out.println&#40;book2.getName&#40;&#41;&#41;;
	
&#125;

Iitem book2 = (Iitem)ctx.getBean("book2");

You have to retrieve the proxied bean, which is "something".

Thanks for the help!

Iitem book2 = (Iitem)ctx.getBean("something");
