Guice framework not able to intercept private methods

[sandy]

I am using Guice with AOP alliance
There is a private method in my class and I have created an method
interceptor for it
but the control doesnt reaches to my interceptor.But when I changed
the accessifier from private to public it works

Same is the case with accessing a class's private variable.I have to
define a getter for all the private fields of a class

Just curios to know, Is this a limitation of Guice framework or there
is a work around for it

That's correct. This is because Java does not provide virtual dispatch for private methods, it is not possible to intercept them. If you declare them at any other scope (package local, public or protected) it will work fine.
