AOP + SpringFramework + log4j + Annotations

estou tentando usar essa combinação, o log4j está funcionando mas o AOP não está chamando a função para logar!
o que tem de errado no meu código ou está faltando?

a aplicação executa com sucesso mais sem fazer os logs …

aop.AuditLogProcessor.java

package aop;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.After;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;

@Aspect
public class AuditLogProcessor
{
    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(AuditLogProcessor.class);

    @After("execution(* aop.GreetingService.sayGreeting())")
    public void after() {
        log.info("==> after");
    }

    @After("execution(* aop.GreetingService.sayGreeting())")
    public void before() {
        log.info("==> before");
    }
}

aop.GreetingService.java

package aop;

public class GreetingService {
	private String greeting;
	
	GreetingService() {}
	GreetingService(String greeting) {
		setGreeting(greeting);
	}
	
	public void sayGreeting() {
		System.out.println( greeting );
	}
	
	public void setGreeting(String greeting) {
		this.greeting = greeting;
	}
	
}

aop.HelloApp.java

package aop;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResource;

public class HelloApp {
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		BeanFactory factory = 
			new XmlBeanFactory( 
					new FileSystemResource("aop/spring.xml") );
		
		GreetingService greetingServiceImpl = (GreetingService) factory.getBean("GreetingService");
		greetingServiceImpl.sayGreeting();
	}
}
