[aspectj-users] Applying @DeclareParents to annotated classes

[Scott <aspectj-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having trouble with this. I am wanting to declare a parent on any class that has and @Audit annotation on it. Here is my code:

======================================================================

@DeclareParents(value="@Audit *.*",defaultImpl= ApplicationContextAwareImpl.class)
private ApplicationContextRetriever implementedInterface;

======================================================================

I have tried many varients of value="@Audit":

1. @Audit *.*
2. @Audit com..logic.*
3. @Audit com.company.somepackages.logic.Reader

These start working only when I take the annotation off. The last two in particular are specific to classes that would probably be using the annotation. However, I would like to match any class that has the @Audit annotation, regardless of where it is located. The idea is that auditing will happen on any class that has the @Audit annotation on the class and each method to audit. But I cannot get this to work.
