#Secured Spring Security Annotation on JPA Entity not working - spring

Question

I have a JPA Entity class and am trying to secure the remove method by adding a secured annotation to that method. My JPA entities are not defined in my application context xml so I have used the following in my context.xml to try to enable Aspect J.
<sec:global-method-security secured-annotations="enabled" mode="aspectj" />
I am using a maven plugin to do static compile time weaving and in my log I can see no issues
Generating code...

My JPA entity that I have defined the annotation on is a abstract class and it has child classes that use the remove method. The following annotations exists on my JPA class
#Entity
#Configurable
and the remove method is like
#Transactional
#Secured(value = {"ROLE_ADMINS"})
public void remove() {
if (this.entityManager == null) this.entityManager = entityManager();
if (this.entityManager.contains(this)) {
this.entityManager.remove(this);
} else {
Submission attached = Submission.findSubmission(this.id);
this.entityManager.remove(attached);
}
}
The Role ROLE_ADMINS should only allow those users with that role to delete a entity however all users are able to delete the entity. Any ideas?
Below is how my pom looks for weaving plugin
