Using spring AOP aspect to intercept the methods?

Question

I am using spring AOP to intercept the methods. I have below configuration in my spring config file.

<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />

Aspect class:

@Aspect
public class MyAspect{

 @Around("execution(public * *(..))")
public Object doAction(ProceedingJoinPoint call) throws Throwable {

 //somelogic
}

Above method does not intercept private methods ? what should i do to ask the aspect to intercept both private and public methods?

Answer 1

Private methods may not be intercepted, as they may not be invoked through a proxy.

However, you could use native AspectJ weaving, as you can see on the point 8.8.4 of the following page:
