[aspectj-users] [Newbie] Difference between "call" and "execution" point

["Joshua White" <gemini929@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

What is the difference between the "call" and "execution" pointcut types?  Is there different Signature requirements for each?

 

When I use the following:

 

execution(* com.mycompany.webservices.impl..*(..) throws java.rmi.RemoteException); 

I can advise the classes without a problem.  However, when I use:

call(* com.mycompany.webservices.impl..*(..) throws java.rmi.RemoteException); 

The actuall call gets skipped.  What's the difference between the two?

Regards,

Joshua
