I have service code like this:

@Component
public class MyService implements com.xyz.WithSession {

    public void someMethodWhichDoesNotNeedAutorization() {
        // code S1
    }

    @com.xyz.WithAuthorization
    public void someMethodWhichNeedAutorization() {
        // code S2
    }
}

and aspect like this:

@Aspect
public class MyAspect {

    @Before("target(com.xyz.WithSession)")
    public void adviceBeforeEveryMethodFromClassImplementingWithSession() {
        // code A1
    }

    @Before("target(com.xyz.WithSession) && @annotation(com.xyz.WithAuthorization)")
    public void adviceBeforeWithAuthorizationMethodFromClassImplementingWithSession() {
        // code A2
    }

Annotation looks like:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface WithAuthorization{
}

• code A1 is called before code S1 — OK
• code A1 is called before code S2 — OK
• code A2 isn't called before code S2 — NOT OK

What am I doing wrong?

Code is written in Java 7 with Spring 3.1.3.

Update

I've tried another way. I use 'Around' advice instead of 'Before' and 'After' to have access to ProceedingJoinPoint. In this advice I check with reflection whether method has annotation 'com.xyz.WithAuthorization' or not:

private boolean isAnnotated(ProceedingJoinPoint proceedingJoinPoint) {
    MethodSignature signature = (MethodSignature) proceedingJoinPoint.getSignature();
    return signature.getMethod().isAnnotationPresent(com.xyz.WithAuthorization);
}

My annotation has '@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)' but I see in debugger that annotation is missing on runtime in the method signature. So the problem still exists.
