aspectj

Hello,

I work on an legacy application, where Spring AOP (namely ProxyFactoryBean) is used.

I need to add an aspect around a method of a certain class. This class is not a bean however. The AspecjJ pointcut expression would be like this: execution(* xyz.package.Class.method())

I created a MethodInterceptor and AspectJExpressionPointcut, but I don't know how make those two work together.

EDIT:
I do not have source code for this class, it is a 3rd party library. The instances of this class are not created by me, neither in source code, nor in spring configuration as beans. It is used internally by the library.

Any help appreciated.
