How to add spans to @service classes in Java spring boot?

[sajjanbalar]

I want to enable sentry tracing via spans for my backend server which is written in Java Spring.
There is a class called ESService with an @service annotation. The @SentrySpan annotation has been added to this class but I am not seeing the perf times of the methods in this class in Sentry.

What do I need to do?

Spans are added to Transactions. Do you have a transaction happening? If that service is the entry point (like it's invoked by the framework or something) you could annotate with @SentryTransaction instead.

For incoming Web requests, the SDK automatically starts a transaction. So any @SentrySpan that happens in a request should automatically get appended to the it
