Apparently Spring with only affect bean classes it loaded thru it's application context files. Considering it weaves code at runtime, this makes sense. Knowing this, it can still be useful, but it's not in the same league as AspectJ.

So using Spring's AOP to dump particular Hibernate exceptions that wrap SQL exceptions in unittests won't be that straigtforward, I'd have to wrap each DAO with yet another proxy layer. It won't be long before people start talking about the "AOP Proxy Stack".
