spring-boot-starter-aop around annotated interface's method won't advice my aspect - aop

Question

I have the following implementation:
public interface BusinessResource {
#RequiresAuthorization
public ResponseEnvelope getResource(ParamObj param);
}
and
#Component
public class BusinessResourceImpl implements BusinessResource {
#Autowired
public Response getResource(ParamObj param) {
return Response.ok().build();
}
}
and
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Around;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Aspect
#Component
public class AuthorizerAspect {
protected static final Logger LOGGER =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(AuthorizerAspect.class);
#Autowired
public AuthorizerAspect() {
LOGGER.info("Break point works here..." +
"so spring is creating the aspect as a component...");
}
#Around(value="#annotation(annotation)")
public Object intercept(ProceedingJoinPoint jp,
RequiresAuthorization annotation) throws Throwable {
LOGGER.info("BEGIN");
jp.proceed();
LOGGER.info("END");
}
}
The maven dependencies are properly configured with the spring-boot-starter-aop dependency. So what happens is that AuthorizerAspect won't intercept around the getResource method if the #RequiresAuthorization is used on the declared method of the BusinessResource interface, but if I change the implementation to annotate the same method now in the BusinessResourceImpl class, the aspect will take place.
NOTE: With the annotation in the interface level, the proxy isn't even created, whereas the annotation being placed in the implementation level will create a proxy for the resource.
Question is: Is there a way to advice objects which the annotation is present just on the interface?

Answer 1

May this alternative be useful for those who like me found no direct approach to sort that limitation on Spring AOP through proxies:
public interface BusinessResource {
#RequiresAuthorization
public ResponseEnvelope getResource(ParamObj param);
}
And
#Component
public class BusinessResourceImpl implements BusinessResource {
#Autowired
public Response getResource(ParamObj param) {
return Response.ok().build();
}
}
And
import import org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInvocation;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
#Configuration
public class AuthorizerAspect {
protected static final Logger LOGGER =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(AuthorizerAspect.class);
#Autowired
public AuthorizerAspect() {
LOGGER.info("Break point works here..." +
"so spring is creating the aspect as a component...");
}
public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation) throws Throwable {
LOGGER.info("BEGIN");
invocation.proceed();
LOGGER.info("END");
}
#Bean
public DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator defaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator() {
return new DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator();
}
#Bean("requiresAuthorizationPointcut")
public AbstractPointcutAdvisor createPointcut() {
return new AbstractPointcutAdvisor() {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 4733447191475535406L;
#Override
public Advice getAdvice() {
return AuthorizerAspect.this;
}
#Override
public Pointcut getPointcut() {
return new StaticMethodMatcherPointcut() {
#Override
public boolean matches(Method method, Class<?> targetClass) {
if (method.isAnnotationPresent(RequiresAuthorization.class)) {
return true;
}
if (method.getDeclaringClass().isInterface()) {
String methodName = method.getName();
try {
Method targetMethod = targetClass.getMethod(methodName, method.getParameterTypes());
return targetMethod != null && targetMethod.isAnnotationPresent(RequiresAuthorization.class);
} catch (NoSuchMethodException |
SecurityException e) {
LOGGER.debug("FAILURE LOG HERE",
e.getMessage());
return false;
}
}
return method.isAnnotationPresent(RequiresAuthorization.class);
}
};
}
};
}
}
So as you'll notice, we're sorting it by using method interceptors.
