[aspectj-users] IBM's Websphere App Developer Issue

["Chandra Sreeraman" <chandra@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good Morning
 
 I am a newbie to AspectJ. We use IBM's WSAD @ work and I have the AspectJ plug-in installed for it. I am able to use aspects on a regualar Java project, but not on a J2EE project - I get a compile error.
 
 The core issue is this:
 We use a lot of custom tags, but all these tags have lot's of SQL in them. I want the developers to move away from this philosophy of combining everything in the tags (refator existing ones and prevent future ones). I decided to use AspectJ for this purpose. But, the plug-in I have refuses to compile the project and throws the following error. 
 
 Any pointers would be higely helpful and thanks in advance.
 
 Chandra
