Spring batch component using @Timed does not increment count attribute

[condessalovelace]

I'm using Spring Batch and there's a component that extends JdbcCursorItemReader which is used as reader in a chunk. I have added the @Timed annotation on doRead() method:

@Timed(name = "Read")
@Override
public T doRead() throws Exception {
    return super.doRead();
}

This method is invoked by Spring AOP, so the problem is that the time and stop methods are not triggered by this annotation (count == 0, even when the method is called), although the metric is registered (log shows it).

This problem is a limitation or I'm doing something wrong? (Methods called explicitly work as expected, i.e., the counter and other properties are incremented).
