AspectJ with Spring MVC annotations

[syncro]

Hi all

I am trying to intercept all calls to methods within net.myapp.web with

    <bean id="securityInterceptor" class="net.myapp.web.SecurityInterceptor" />
    
	<aop:config>
   		<aop:aspect id="securityAspect" ref="securityInterceptor">
      		<aop:pointcut id="securityPointCut" expression="within(net.myapp.web..*)"/>
      		<aop:before pointcut-ref="securityPointCut" method="intercept" />
   		</aop:aspect>
	</aop:config>

but none of them are intercepted. I am specifically looking to intercept net.myapp.web.Index which looks like this:

@Controller
package net.myapp.web.page;

@RequestMapping("/index.html")
public class Index extends ControllerSupport {

	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public ModelAndView prepareView() 
	{
		//do stuff
	}
}

but the prepareView method is never intercepted, even though it does run.

If I change my pointcut expression to

<aop:pointcut id="securityPointCut" expression="execution(* *(..))"/>

then the intercept method (which only prints out a message) will run a bunch of times so there's nothing wrong with the basic setup.

Any ideas why my controller method isn't being intercepted?

I needed to declare the pointcut in my springmvc-servlet.xml, it apparently doesn't work in applicationContext.xml

now that the SecurityInterceptor class intercepts all requests, how can I access the HttpServletRequest/Response in this specific class?
