Using Spring AOP in an JSF application

consider a JSF web application with a managed bean FooBean.java. I've declared this "FooBean" in my faces-config.xml file. Now, if I want to add the Spring AOP advice for the methods of FooBean, how do I do that?

Note: I've created an Aspect bean and defined a point-cut like @Pointcut("within(dummy.web.reporting..*)") inside the aspect bean.

I am using Spring AOP heavily in a Spring JSF application, I would rather suggest you to load your JSF beans via Spring container and also let Spring manage the Scope of the beans. In such a scenario all beans would be loaded by Spring container thus it would become very easy to implement Spring AOP.

More info on such type of Spring-JSF integration http://xebee.xebia.in/2011/10/31/spring-jsf-integration-made-easy-clean-using-spring-annotations/

You can load a regular spring context xml file from within your web.xml like so:

<context-param>
   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
   <param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/spring-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

You can then define your managed beans in here in the regualar spring way and you can still refer to these beans by id in your jsps.

You will also be able to use all the standard Spring AOP stuff within your spring-context.xml
