Spring interceptor not invoked - spring

Question

I am using spring and resteasy integration for exposing some REST based services. I am planning to use interceptors for logging and authentication but facing issues with interceptor invocation.
Controller class (using #Path for rest services)
#Controller
#Path("/v1.0/create")
public class ContollerClass{
#POST
#Path("/artifact")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String someMethod(SampleVO sampleVO,#Context HttpServletRequest request) {
// Some functionality
}
acctrest-servlet.xml :
<context:component-scan base-package="com.comp.abc.xyz" />
<import resource="classpath:springmvc-resteasy.xml" />
<mvc:interceptors>
<bean class="com.comp.abc.xyz.interceptor.AuthenticationInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptors>
Interceptor :
public class AuthenticationInterceptor implements HandlerInterceptor {
public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest arg0, HttpServletResponse arg1,
Object arg2) throws Exception {
System.out.println("pre handle ************************");
log.info("before handler execution");
String requestID = Long.toString(System.currentTimeMillis());
log.debug("request ID is {} :: ", requestID);
return true;
}
Web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>acctrest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>acctrest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Except the interceptor invocation, rest of the flow is working fine.
