title: Spring AOP misses something
body: <p>I'm just playing with AspectJ (1.6) with Spring (2.5), but it seems not to work in the proper way.
  I set up my "beans.xml" using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;aop:aspectj-autoproxy/&gt;
  &lt;bean id="testBean1" class="apackage.MyClass"&gt;
  &lt;bean id="aopBean1" class="apackage.AfterReturningExample"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with the correct namespaces set and some other beans with no importance.
  I use a simple bean to test advices:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package apackage;
  
          @Aspect
          public class MyClass {
  
              public MyClass()
              {
  
              }
                  public Boolean testAspectJ()
                  {
                          System.out.println("returning from MyClass.testAspectJ()");
                          return false;
                  }
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is the aop bean:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package apackage;    
  @Aspect 
      public class AfterReturningExample {
          public AfterReturningExample(){}
          @AfterReturning("execution(* apackage.MyClass.*(..))")
          public void test() throws Exception{
  
              System.err.println("\n\n####  After Returning MyClass.testAspectJ()\n\n");
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And finally this is the testing code (in a main method):</p>
  
  <pre><code>ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("apackage/beans.xml"); 
  MyClass bean = (MyClass) ctx.getBean("testBean1"); 
  bean.testAspectJ();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output prints only:</p>
  
  <pre><code>returning from MyClass.testAspectJ()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The strange thing is that if I use for the pointcut:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"execution(public * *(..))"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the log shows the System.out.println of the AfterReturningExample class.
  What am I missing?</p>
