From discussion on aspectj list:

Hi,

Well, having just done some testing, I think this even simpler case shows 
within() is not behaving correctly for annotations:

@Entity
public class myClass1 {...}

public class myClass2 {...}

public aspect myAspect {
  before():call(* *(..)) && within(@Entity *) {
  }
}

The pointcut matches all the method calls in myClass1 and myClass2 
(effectively it is parsing but then ignoring the annotation specified
in the within()).

So, what you want to do is valid but AspectJ is misbehaving - you get a 
stack overflow because the perthis() clause is also matching on your aspect 
type when obviously that doesnt have the annotation and shouldnt be matched.

Subject
[aspectj-users] Aspect instance on JDK 1.5 annotation
	

	


Hi all, 
I'm currently trying to get an aspect instance for an object instance with
specific JDK 1.5 annotation. 
Exemple : 
        Create an aspect instance for all object like that : 
        @Entity 
        public class myClass { ... } 
I try 
        public aspect myAspect perthis(within(@Entity *)) {...} 
but this aspect execution lead to a java.lang.StackOverflowError exception. 
Is it possible ? 
Thanks. 
        Mickaël
