[aspectj-users] Beginner question: intercepting method within a certain

[Michael Kober <michael.kober@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm an AspectJ beginner and have the following problem:

I
 want to add an aspect after a method call but only when it is done in a
 certain context (see following pseudo-code):

class Dispatcher:

public void dispatch(MessageInvocation invocation)  {
        new
 Thread(new Runnable() {
           @Override
            public 
void run() {
                // do some stuff...
                
do {
                    if (lock.tryLock()) {
                        try
 {
                            messageInvocation.invoke();
       
                 } finally {
                          lock.unlock()
   
                     }
                      }
               } while (someCondition)
   
         }            
        }).start();

I want to intercept
 the invoke() method of MethodInvocation, but only when it is called in 
the context of the dispatch method in class Dispatch. Is this possible? I
 tried to use within / withincode but without success - but maybe I'm 
just getting the pointcut definition wrong (I use Annotation style):

@After("execution(* my.package.MessageInvocation.

invoke(..)) && withincode(* Dispatcher.dispatch(..))")

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
