Um, you needn't write your own annotation to implement interception with a custom class - read through the copious documentation on how to use Spring for AOP in various helpful ways.

If this was just an example, and you want "something else" (besides interception) to happen as a result of your annotation, I don't think Spring has anything to really help you. You could consider looking at Guice, which offers a lot more flexibility around custom annotations.
