[aspectj-users] hanging problem with aspectj 1.1

["Dominik Dahlem" <Dominik.Dahlem@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm new to aspectj and ran into a hanging problem. 
I searched google and this mailing list, but couldn't find 
a hint. I'd like to implement a tracing aspect for my project. 
However, this aspect hangs if I specify a pointcut for 
public/protected/private methods. Everything works fine, 
if I only specify the pointcut for public methods. In fact, 
I tested my aspects with a HelloWorld class with only 
public methods. But I assume this shouldn't be the problem. 
Are there any issues or am I missing something?

My aspect defs are:

public abstract aspect Tracing 
{
  abstract pointcut trace();
  before(): trace() {}
  after(): trace() {}
}


=> this aspect hangs.
public MethodTracing extends Tracing
{
  pointcut trace(): execution(* *(..));
}

=> this aspect works find.
public MethodTracing extends Tracing
{
  pointcut trace(): execution(public * *(..));
}


Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dominik
