[ews.eclipse.technology.aspectj] AspectJ: around() advice for setName() in derived class

Hello,

I have two classes:

class A {
 private String name;
 public void setName (String name) { this.name = name; }
}

class B extends A;

I want to create an advice which allows me to "fix" the name before it
is passed into setName() by calling a method validateName() (this is
defined in the advice).

This works.

Now, I want to create a second advice which does the same with a
*different* validateName() method for B.

I tried

	pointcut setter (B b): execution(public void B.setName(*)) && target (b);
	
	void around(B obj, String newValue) :
		setter (obj) && args (newValue) { ... }

but the around advice is not applied to anything. What's wrong?

Regards,
