#AspectJ Based AOP with Spring 3.1 - spring

Question

I am trying to run a #AspectJ Based AOP with Spring 3.1 & not able to configure pointcut properly
Pointcut and advice methods are :
Pointcuts:
#Pointcut("execution(* point.*.*(..))")
public void selectAll() {}
after advice:
#After("selectAll()")
public void afterAdvice() {
System.out.println("profile has been setup.");
}
before advice:
#Before("selectAll()")
public void beforeAdvice() {
System.out.println("Going to setup profile.");
}
& run main program i got Exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'student' defined in class path resource [spring.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 can't find referenced pointcut selectAll

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:291)
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:193)
although when i give pointcut expression in beforeAdvice() and afterAdvice() methods , remove PointCuts method every thing work fine
#Before("execution(* point.*.*(..))")
public void beforeAdvice() {
System.out.println("Going to setup profile.");
}
#After("execution(* point.*.*(..))")
public void afterAdvice() {
System.out.println("profile has been setup.");
}
i am trying to apply pointcut to method of Student class:
package point;
public class Student{
private Integer age;
private String name;
public void setAge(Integer age) {
this.age = age;
}
public Integer getAge() {
System.out.println("Age : " + age);
return age;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
System.out.println("Name : " + name);
return name;
}
public void printThrowException() {
System.out.println("Exception raised");
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
}
spring configuration xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
