Re: [aspectj-users] Troubles with packages and pointcuts

["Ron Bodkin" <rbodkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Cyrill,

Is ContractShowCase a type with default (package only) visibility? If so, an aspect in another package can't normally see it. However, you can make the pointcut match by using a fully qualified name, e.g.,

public pointcut targetPointcut() : execution(*  x.y.z.ContractShowCase.dummyMethod(..));
