I am trying to create a simple aspect . Here is my simple spring bean
public class SimpleService { public void sayHello(){ System.out.println("hi"); } } Here is my aspect class
@Aspect public class SimpleAspect { @Before("execution(void sayHello())") public void entering(){ System.out.println("entering.."); } } Here is my configuration file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-4.1.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd"> <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/> <bean id="service" class="com.schatt.service.SimpleService"></bean> My understanding was that when I try to invoke SimpleService.sayHello() , the before aspect will be called and after that sayHello() will be called.But the aspect is not getting triggered.Can not understand what I am missing here.
