Hi,
  I have a aspect like the following:

    pointcut typeConstruction(): 
        initialization(as.classifier.Type+.new(..));
    
    after(as.classifier.Type type) returning(): 
            typeConstruction() && target(type) {
        xs.school.Types.getInstance().register(type);
    }

I find that the advice is executed twice for a subclass (StudyType) of as.classifier.Type. I traced my constructor call stack like the following: (StudyType inherits from AccountabilityType, which inherits from RelationType, which implements Type).

    private StudyType(String name, StudyType parent, boolean isAbstract) {
        super(name, parent, isAbstract);
    }  --> advice is executed here

    public AccountabilityType(String name, AccountabilityType parent, boolean isAbstract) {
        super(name, parent, isAbstract);
    }  --> advice is 
NOT executed here

    public RelationType(String name, RelationType parent, boolean isAbstract) {
        super(name, parent, isAbstract);
        if (this instanceof AggregationType)
            setValidator(
CyclicValidator.getInstance());        
    }  -- > advice is executed here

Should not the join point for the constructor RelationType be adviced? I want just want the advice is executed on the join point for StudyType constructor. What should I do?

Thanks, 
Rice
