How to write spring AOP for jax-rs

Question

I am beginner in spring AOP. My requirement is to log before invokeTestServer method execution.Please find my code below:

application-context.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd">

    <aop:aspectj-autoproxy expose-proxy="true" />

    <context:component-scan base-package="mypackage.service" />

    <bean id="loggingAspect" class="mypackage.spring.InputAcceptorAspect" />

</beans>

As am trying to integrate AOP with jax-rs i dont have any specific bean to be initialized

please find below my component

package mypackage.service;

@Component
public class FirstProcess {

    public Response invokeTestServer() throws TestServerException{
            //Logic
        return response;
    }
}

My Aspect is as below package mypackage.spring;

@Aspect

public class InputAcceptorAspect {

    @Before("execution(*mypackage.service.invokeTestServer(..))")
    public void logBeforeInvokingTestServer(JoinPoint joinpoint){
        logger.error("TestServer got invoked");
        System.out.println("TestServer got invoked");
    }
}

And am trying to test with below main class

package mypackage.spring;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

import mypackage.service.FirstProcess;

    public class TestAOP {

        public static void main(String args[])
        {
            ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("application-context.xml");
            FirstProcess manager = context.getBean(FirstProcess.class);
            manager.invokeTestServer();
        }
    }

While executing the above am getting an exception failed to create bean FirstProcess defined in file..

Any help would be appreciated.

In class FirstProcess.java you are trying to create bean with annotations but annotation config is not present inside configuration. Add this tag inside application-context.xml file for bean creation using annotation config
