Re: [aspectj-users] Help with interesting little pointcut: automaticall

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matthew,

Here is where you can use cflow to good measure:

pointcut insidePersistenceProvider() : cflow(within(PersistenceProvider));

And add   && !insidePersistenceProvider() to your autopersistentEntity pointcut.

Just a warning though, your autopersistentEntity pointcut is looking a
little complex.  I'd try breaking it up or documenting it a bit.  3
months from now, I'm going to guess that you will have no idea what
that pointcut does any more.
