[aspectj-users] Only before advice is supported on handler join points (

[Arun Natarajan <anatara1@xxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
Newbie here trying to use AspectJ in a project after trying out some
examples.
I get the following warnings when I build my project and could not figure
out what it meant.
"Only before advice is supported on handler join points (compiler
limitation)"

I have a simple tracing aspect(code listed below). I have a whole bunch of
classes and get several pages of the same warning on multiple classes.
However when I run the application I do see before and after messages.

Thanks,
Arun N

	_callDepth++;
	print("+++ Before", thisJoinPoint);

private void print(String prefix, Object message) {
	for(int i=0,spaces = _callDepth*2; i <spaces; i++) {
		System.out.print(" ");
	}
	System.out.println(prefix + ":" + message);
}
