I have this interface:
public interface FakeTemplate {
@CustomAnnotation
void foo() {
}
}
And this implementation of the interface:
@Component
public FakeImpl implements FakeTemplate {
@Override
public void foo() {
//Do Stuff
}
}
And this aspect:
@Aspect
@Component
public class CustomAspect {
@Before(value = "@annotation(com.fake.CustomAnnotation)")
public void doStuffBefore(JoinPoint joinPoint} {
}
}
I'm using spring with AspectJ enabled using: @EnableAspectJAutoProxy(proxyTargetClass = true)
My issue is that the aspect doStuffBefore
method is not being called before the execution of FakeImpl's foo()
method. It Does work when I put the @CustomAnnotation
on FakeImpl
instead of FakeTemplate
, but I'd much prefer to put the annotation on FakeTemplate
as it's in a separate API package and I've kind of delegated it as the place where I put all my annotations.
I'd also like to ensure that the CustomAnnotation
is called on every class that implements FakeTemplate
without remembering to put the annotation on all the implementation classes themselves.
Is there any way to get the advice to be called if the annotation is only on the interface class?
