Bean autowiring not working after Spring AOP
<p>Before using Spring AOP I had a working code like this:</p>

<pre><code>@Controller
public class UserChoiceController {
    @Autowired
    private CityPropertyEditor cityPropertyEditor;
//...
}
</code></pre>

<p>where </p>

<pre><code>@Component("cityPropertyEditor")
public class CityPropertyEditor extends java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport {
//...
}
</code></pre>

<p>where</p>

<pre><code>@Component
public class java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport implements java.beans.PropertyEditor {
//...
}
</code></pre>

<p>My autowiring of CityPropertyEditor worked fine. But after adding Spring AOP pointcut for all the methods:</p>

<pre><code>@Pointcut("execution(* my.package.name..*.*(..))")
    private void allMethodsExecution(){}
</code></pre>

<p>autowiring of CityPropertyEditor crashed. In fact the bean was not of the class CityPropertyEditor anymore, but simply PropertyEditor:</p>

<pre><code>applicationContext.getBean("cityPropertyEditor") instanceof CityPropertyEditor; // returns false

applicationContext.getBean("cityPropertyEditor") instanceof PropertyEditorSupport; // returns false

applicationContext.getBean("cityPropertyEditor") instanceof PropertyEditor; // unexpectedly returns TRUE!
</code></pre>

<p>So I had to change the class from CityPropertyEditor to PropertyEditor as a workaround. 
It's funny that it concerns only this bean. Every other bean is autowired exactly as before. How can I solve it the right way (without using beans ids or other workarounds)?</p>

<p>In case the stacktrace can help, here it goes:</p>
