title: Testing Spring @Aspect in spring?
body: <p>I'm new to Spring and AOP in Java (though I've done some related stuff functionally in the past), so I hope someone can help remedy my ignorance--are there any good guides to unit testing an @Aspect out there? In a related note, is it revealing some profound misunderstanding of the execution model of spring to hope that a breakpoint set within my aspect advice would suspend the debugger and let me look at the variables in scope there? Any old documentation will help, but please be specific... I have read the spring docs, but perhaps I missed the particular bits.</p>
