I'd like to autowire a spring-managed bean into an Aspect. The following works like a champ:

Code:
@Aspect
@Configurable
public class PointWrapper {
   @Autowired
   private JobSupport job_support;

   (point-cuts-here)
}
I realized that I need to define a privileged aspect, which is not supported in @AspectJ. So I converted back to the retro AspectJ notation:

Code:
@Configurable
public privileged aspect PointWrapper {
   @Autowired
   private JobSupport job_support;

   (point-cuts-here)
}
Problem is, this second syntax doesn't seem to work. I get a NullPointerException when referring to job_support. Is there a hack to make @Configurable / @Autowired work with old-school aspects?

Thanks
