In my Project i use Spring WebFlow.
I have a bean defined in one of my flow.xml files

Code:
<bean id="customerActions" class="com.system.actions.CustomerAction" >
		<property name="webService" ref="customerWebService"/>
		 <property name="agentService" ref="agentClient"/>  
	</bean>
Customer Action extends MultiAction class from webflow.

Now i have a SecurityAspect class annotiated as AspectJ
Code:
@Aspect
public class SecurityAspect {		
	private SecuritySession session;
	
	@Before("@annotation(com.system.lib.Security)")
	public void checkSecurity(JoinPoint jp) throws Throwable{
		String userid = session.getUserid();
        if (userid == null) {          
            throw new SecurityException("User credentials must be present before attempting to invoke the method: "+ getMethod(jp).getName() );
        }   
        
		
	}
}
My CustomerAction contains annotation that should be intercepted by this SecurityAspect.
However that is not the case, the aspect is never executed.


I don't understand why this bean is omitted, it is spring managed.
Is it possible that webflow has its own spring managed context and my SecurityAspect lives in a separate managed context?

If someone has an opinion or knowledge on this please share.
