AspectJ would support a declaration rule to method params.

I.E.: I want to publish a service as a web service. I need to annotate the params of a method with @WebParam.

AspectJ supports the declaration of annotations in the method and has a syntax to check params with pointcuts:

    pointcut p1(): execution(public * (@Controller *).*(@MyParamAnnotation (*),..)); 

I proposed this syntax to assign annotations to paramas:

    declare @param * *(*, Class className, ..) : @Annotation(annotationParameter = "value");

Result: assign the annotation '@Annotation(annotationParameter = "value")' to the type of param 'Class' with the name 'className'.

It has to be declared for each param to assign individually the annotation.

I think it would be a necessary improvement to increase the productivity of AspectJ.

Thank you.
