Grails: Intercepting Service class methods - part 3

Well - I have a couple of updates to my previous post:

1) Grails 1.2.2 is out and it does look like the Spring DSL for AOP definitions is fixed.
2) using the Spring xml definition in part 2 performed very poorly. I am not sure why but if I changed the pointcut definition to:

pointcut="execution(* com.redpointtech.flex..*Service..*(..))"

it performed MUCH better

Given that the DSL is fixed and I needed it to perform better I have changed the AOP definition again to the following in the resources.groovy file.

 beans = {  
  xmlns aop:"http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"  
   securityAspect(SecurityAspect)  
   aop {  
    config("proxy-target-class":true) {  
     aspect(id:'theSecurityAspectDef', ref:'securityAspect') {  
      around method: "invoke", pointcut:"execution(* com.redpointtech.flex..*Service..*(..))"  
     }  
    }  
   }  
 }  

I think this concludes my saga to get Flex services intercepted. I hope this helps you out.
