You can use after returning advice or around advice. See http://static.springsource.org/sprin...rence/aop.html section 6.2.4.2.
Here is the example provided on how to capture the return value. Of course it is much cleaner if you were to use code style advice.

import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.AfterReturning;

@Aspect
public class AfterReturningExample {

  @AfterReturning(
    pointcut="com.xyz.myapp.SystemArchitecture.dataAccessOperation()",
    returning="retVal")
  public void doAccessCheck(Object retVal) {
    // ...
  }
  
}
