MethodInterceptor for public methods in Controller is not working property, Object

amy

Hi,
I have a bean defined in my-servlet.xml for the Controller as quot;myControllerBeanquot; and also, I have added a public method quot;public Object invokeService(params)quot; to this controller. Now, I want to intercept this method and cache the result of this method using EHCache. Code:
lt;bean id=quot;methodCachePointCutquot; class=quot;org..aop.support.RegexpMethodPointcutAdvisorquot;gt; lt;property name=quot;advicequot;gt;   lt;ref local=quot;methodCacheInterceptorquot;/gt; lt;/propertygt; lt;property name=quot;patternsquot;gt;   lt;listgt;     lt;valuegt;.*invoke*lt;/valuegt;   lt;/listgt; lt;/propertygt;
lt;/beangt;
lt;bean id=quot;autoProxyquot; class=quot;org..aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreatorquot;gt;     lt;property name=quot;beanNamesquot;gt;         lt;listgt;  lt;valuegt;myControllerBeanlt;/valuegt;         lt;/listgt;     lt;/propertygt;     lt;property name=quot;interceptorNamesquot;gt;         lt;valuegt;methodCachePointCutlt;/valuegt;     lt;/propertygt; lt;/beangt;

But the quot;invokeServicequot; method is not getting intercepted. Any idea why?Also, I have another bean quot;myServiceBeanquot; defined in applicationContext.xml file. Can this method interceptor intercept myServiceBean methods also?

thanks for your help,
Forrest

Try quot;.*invoke.*quot; as pattern (note the dot before the last asterisk).

No, it's still not working. I don't understand why I can't intercept a controller's method. What am I doing wrong here?

can somebody send me a working sample to intercept controller's methods?

Also, I need some sample code for intercepting non-beans. I want MethodInterceptor to be applied to classes that are NOT configured thru Spring.

thx.

here is the complete configuration I have.Code:
lt;bean id=quot;myControllerquot; class=quot;com.mycompany.controller.MyControllerquot;gt;
lt;/beangt;

lt;bean id=quot;methodCachePointCutquot; class=quot;org..aop.support.RegexpMethodPointcutAdvisorquot;gt; lt;property name=quot;advicequot;gt;   lt;ref local=quot;methodCacheInterceptorquot;/gt; lt;/propertygt; lt;property name=quot;patternsquot;gt;   lt;listgt;     lt;valuegt;handleRequestlt;/valuegt;     lt;valuegt;.*invoke*.*lt;/valuegt;   lt;/listgt; lt;/propertygt;
lt;/beangt;

lt;bean id=quot;autoProxyquot; class=quot;org..aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreatorquot;gt;     lt;property name=quot;beanNamesquot;gt;         lt;listgt;  lt;valuegt;myControllerlt;/valuegt;         lt;/listgt;     lt;/propertygt;     lt;property name=quot;interceptorNamesquot;gt;         lt;valuegt;methodCachePointCutlt;/valuegt;     lt;/propertygt;
lt;/beangt;
