Advice not working

[papo]

Hi everyone. I'm new to Spring and I am currently working on a project that uses AOP. However, my advice seem to not work at all.
Here's the configuration:

	
	<bean id="logInController" class="springmacs.mvc.login.LoginController" > </bean>
	
	<bean id="operationLogAdvice" class="springmacs.aop.OperationLogAdvice"/>
	
	<bean id="pointcut.advisor" class="org.springframework.aop.support.NameMatchMethodPointcutAdvisor">
  		<property name="advice" ref="operationLogAdvice"/>
 		<property name="mappedName" value="onSubmit"/>
	</bean>
	
	<bean id="advice" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">
		<property name="interceptorNames">
			<list>
				<value>logInController</value>
				<value>pointcut.advisor</value>
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>	
</beans>

and here's the advice:

public class OperationLogAdvice implements AfterReturningAdvice{    	
	public void afterReturning(Object returnValue, Method method, Object[] args, 
	Object target) throws Throwable {
       
       OperationLogService service=new OperationLogService();
       
       OperationLog operationLog=new OperationLog();
	   OperationLogPK operationLogPK=new OperationLogPK();
	   
	   operationLogPK.setTime(TimeUtilities.getCurrentDate().toString());
	   String log=null;
       
    	   User user=(User) args[2];
    	   operationLogPK.setMacsUserId(user.getUsername());
    	   operationLog.setDescription("Logged in."+ " {"+user.getUsername()+"} "); 
    	   log="\nLogged in."+ " {"+user.getUsername()+"} ";

       operationLog.setOperationlogPK(operationLogPK);
       service.insertOperationLog(operationLog);
       System.out.println(log);
                    
   }
}

What's wrong here? Please help me... Thanks!

As always I suggest the reference guide chapter 6.6.1.

Spring uses proxies for aop, so you can only intercept method calls going INTO the object. the 'onSubmit' for a Controller is an internal method call. Controller has only 1 method you can intercept namely handleRequest.
