IMHO what you are trying to do is impossible: AspectJ - as all AOP 
implementations - works with a joinpoint model. Joinpoints are distinct 
points in the execution model of a program. Some of them can be picked out at 
compile time. However, what you are trying to say is "match on any joinpoints 
that match a certain pattern and are missing". The last part is your problem. 
You can only match on joinpoints that are contained but not on joinpoints 
that are missing.
