[aspectj-users] [ot] Eclipse AspectJ code snippet

[Alexandru Popescu <the.mindstorm.mailinglist@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Firstly, I would like to excuse myself for posting the question here, but I am not aware of any 
other place where I can do it. Please feel free to point me to the correct direction.

Now, my question is about the code snippet at page 293 :

[quote]
The following pointcut and advice ensure that any time we try to insert or update a domain object 
that requires validation, we first validate the object to make sure it satisfies the business 
constraints:

pointcut insertOrUpdate(RequiresValidation domainObject) :
  (execution(* SimpleInsurance.insert*(..)) ||
   execution(* SimpleInsurance.update*(..)))
   && args(domainObject);
[/quote]

Wouldn't this be instead:

[code]
pointcut insertOrUpdate(RequiresValidation domainObject) :
  (execution(* SimpleInsurance.insert*(..)) ||
   execution(* SimpleInsurance.update*(..)))
   && this(domainObject); // <<< this instead of args
[/code]

thanks for understanding,

./alex
