AOP Spring @AfterReturning not calling the aspects method properly

Question

I have an annotation.

@Target(value = {ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Inherited
@Documented
public @interface MyCustomAnnotation{

}

My Aspect class is like that

@Component
@Aspect
public class MyCustomAsspect{

    @AfterReturning(
            pointcut="@annotation(MyCustomAnnotation)",
            returning="retVal")
    public void publishMessage(JoinPoint jp, Object retVal) throws Throwable {


    }
}

My Service class is

@Service
public class ServiceClass{

@MyCustomAnnotation
public Object someMethod(){
return new Object();
}

}

Above are mentioned classes i am not sure why my aspect not working. I am new to Spring AOP . Please help me it shall be very thankful.

Answer 1

Issue is due to pointcut declaration. As spring documentation says

@annotation - limits matching to join points where the subject of the join point (method being executed in Spring AOP) has the given annotation

So I order to make this work

@Aspect
public class MyCustomAsspect{

    @AfterReturning(
            pointcut="execution(public * *(..)) and @annotation(MyCustomAnnotation)",
            returning="retVal")
    public void publishMessage(JoinPoint jp, Object retVal) throws Throwable {


    }
}
