Spring AOP

[Shiaber Shaam]

I have a non Spring web app. I want to implement Spring AOP for some of the methods in our app. Those methods are not invoked using Spring Beans at all. Is there anyway we can do this? I would appreciate if someone can provide me with a sample.

Spring AOP can only advice objects that are Spring Beans. Because it creates DynamicProxies at runtime in the Initialization phase of Spring's ApplicationContext container. And that container only knows about beans you added in Spring configuration (xml, Annotations, or Java Config way)

If you want to get AOP into code you can always just use an AOP framework like AspectJ and do bytecode instrumentation.
