Following your suggestions (it works!) I've changed my pointcut to the 
following:

pointcut nestedDatabaseOperation() : this(StatefullDatabaseObject)		
               // I want the call to be made within a StatefullDatabaseObject
    					 &&					// and
    					 target(StatefullDatabaseObject)	
               // the callee must be another StatefullDatabaseObject
    					 &&					// and 
    					 execution( boolean StatefullDatabaseObject+.*() throws 
DatabaseException)	
              // a method call to the main StatefullDatabaseObject methods
    					 &&					// and
    					 ! execution( boolean StatefullDatabaseObject.*() throws 
DatabaseException )	
             // I'm not myself in a StatefullObject method
    					 ;	    

But this rises a doubt in my mind: what's the exact difference between the 
execution and call clauses? In other words, why if I use call instead of the 
two execution forms it does not work (advicing also nested calls)?

Thanks,
