Consider the following code snippets:
Account.java:
public class Account{
private int balance=0;
	public void credit(int amount){
		balance=balance +amount;
		System.out.println("amount credited");
	}
}

SavingsAccount.java:
public class SavingsAccount extends Account{
	public void credit(int amount){
		super.credit(amount);		
	}
	public static void main(String args[]){
		SavingsAccount sa = new SavingsAccount();
		sa.credit(5);
	}
}

AspectLogging.java
import Account;

public aspect AspectLogging {
pointcut debit(): execution(void Account.credit(int));
	before(): debit() {
		System.out.println("check balance");
	}
}

after I compile this with ajc:
ajc Account.java SavingsAccount.java AspectLogging.java the before advice also 
gets weaved in the credit method of SavingsAccount.java. I believe it should 
only be weaved in Account.java unless I change the pointcut definition to look 
like this:
pointcut debit(): execution(void Account+.credit(int));
