AOP and Spring MVC View (extending AbstractView)

[Oreoferret]

I am using AOP successfully (@Around) on my controllers.

For some reason, any of my views, that extend AbstractView.. I can't seem to do @Around advice on.

specifically, I implement the method renderMergedOutputModel.

This is a protected method.

I use this advice:
@Around("within(com.company.server.rpc.view.*)")

i've tried execution advice.. naming the class/method (GsonView.renderMergedOutputModel(..)) etc etc

Never executes that advice etc.

ANy ideas?

Thanks,
Roger

I suggest the forum search as similair questions have been answered numerous times.

Short: Spring uses proxy based aop, you can only intercept external methods call, for view that is only render all other method calls are internal method calls.
