Ron,
Got it working, mistake on my part. 
Thanks for the help everyone. 
Also, bought a copy of AspectJ in action! Look good Ramnivas.

Hi Michael,

The code you showed looks right to me. Does it work if you just use
Action? Can you post a snippet of code from the actual example.

I suggested using the this PCD because static methods for Action classes
are quite rarely used, but if you _are_ using a static method, then
Matthew's suggestion is the right way to go.
