[aspectj-users] newbie question on within pointcut

[Stephen Boesch <javadba@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the following aspect, the bolded methods cause infinite recursion due to re-invocation of the pointcut.  I don't get it: the pointcut conditions include

 !within(ApplyStatisticsDaoAllPublicMethodsAspect) 

So why did that not avoid the recursion?

@Aspect

public class ApplyStatisticsDaoAllPublicMethodsAspect {

@Aspect

public class ApplyStatisticsDaoAllPublicMethodsAspect {

@Around(value = "execution(public * WaterfallOrmDao+.find* (..)) && !within(ApplyStatisticsDaoAllPublicMethodsAspect) && this(dao)", argNames = "thisJoinPoint, dao")

  public Object aroundApplyStatisticsMethod (ProceedingJoinPoint thisJoinPoint, WaterfallORMDao dao)

    throws Throwable {

..

        executedMethod = ((MethodSignature)thisJoinPoint.getSignature()).getMethod();

        STATISTICS_FACTORY.getStatistics().addStatLine(dao.getManagedClass(), executedMethod, dao.getStatisticsSource(), stop - start);

     LOG.warn(dao.getManagedClass()+" "+ executedMethod+" "+ dao.getStatisticsSource()+" " + (stop - start));

 ..
