[aspectj-users] type pattern not matching when annotation values are enu

[Matthew Adams <matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Consider the following annotation:

@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Persistable {

	StoreType in() default StoreType.MONGO;

	IdType id() default IdType.STRING;
}

I'm attempting to match a type pattern in a declare parents based on
the id() property of the annotation:

	declare parents :
        (@Persistable(id=IdType.LONG) *)
        implements L;

	declare parents :
        (@Persistable(id=IdType.STRING) *)
        implements S;

These aren't matching successfully.  However, if I change the
annotation to use Strings instead (like the following), the matching
starts working.

@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Persistable {

	String in() default "MONGO";

	String id() default "STRING";
}
=====
	declare parents :
        (@Persistable(id="LONG") *)
        implements L;

	declare parents :
        (@Persistable(id="STRING") *)
        implements S;

Interestingly, if I create psf Strings for the values in the
annotation type and try to use those, like I show below, it fails to
match again.

@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Trait
public @interface Persistable {

	public static final String MONGO = "MONGO";
	public static final String JPA = "JPA";
	public static final String JDO = "JDO";

	public static final String STRING = "STRING";
	public static final String LONG = "LONG";

	String in() default "MONGO";

	String id() default "STRING";
}
=====
	declare parents :
        (@Persistable(id=Persistable.LONG) *)
        implements L;

	declare parents :
        (@Persistable(id=Persistable.STRING) *)
        implements S;

The same is true if I move the psf Strings to an interface as well.

Am I doing something wrong?
