Before advice is not getting executed

Question

I am trying to call the before advice , but the same is not getting executed with the defined pointcut

i have main applicaiton in the package com.my.ms

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
public class TemplateServiceApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    SpringApplication.run(TemplateServiceApplication.class, args);
}

}

and in package com.my.ms.tst.advices i have the before advice

@Aspect
public class ValidatingAdvices {

@Before(value = "execution(* com.my.ms.tst.api.*.get*(..))")
public void validateKey(JoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
     System.out.println("Executing the before advice");
 }

}

the controller lies in the package com.my.ms.tst.api

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/ts")
public class MainController {



@GetMapping("/check")
public String getTemp() throws IOException {

    return "five";
}

}

But the Below Advice is not getting executed

Answer 1

You add @Configuration annotation in ValidatingAdvices.

   @Configuration
    @Aspect
    public class ValidatingAdvices {

    @Before(value = "execution(* com.my.ms.tst.api.*.get*(..))")
    public void validateKey(JoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
         System.out.println("Executing the before advice");
     }

    }
