Spring AOP pointcut не се задейства

По някаква причина моят pointcut не се задейства. Забележка: Използвам аспекти в пролетен стил, а не в стил AspectJ.

XML фрагмент

<bean id="authenticationAspect" class="ssel.banking.security.AuthenticationAspect" />

<aop:config>
    <aop:aspect ref="authenticationAspect">
        <aop:pointcut id="interceptControllerInvocation"
            expression="execution(* org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller+.handleRequestInternal(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, ..)) 
                                      and args(request, ..) 
                                      and target(controller)"/>

        <aop:around pointcut-ref="interceptControllerInvocation" 
            method="authenticationAdvice"/>
    </aop:aspect>
</aop:config>

Клас, определен от моя компонент

import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller;

public class AuthenticationAspect {

    public ModelAndView authenticationAdvice(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp, HttpServletRequest request, Controller controller) throws Throwable{

        String URL = request.getRequestURL().toString();
        String viewName = URL.substring(0, URL.length() - 4);
        System.out.println(viewName);

        return (ModelAndView) pjp.proceed();
    }

}

Изпускам ли нещо?
