Use following pointcut expression @annotation(com.abc.xyz.ProfileExecution) with AND operation to filter the methods.

So final xml should look like below

<aop:config>
    <aop:aspect ref="profiler">
        <aop:pointcut id="serviceMethod" 
            expression="execution(public * *(..)) and @annotation(com.abc.xyz.ProfileExecution)" />
        <aop:around pointcut-ref="serviceMethod" method="profile"/>
    </aop:aspect>
</aop:config>

Make sure to include the fully qualified name of annotation in the expression else it won't work.
