Yes, there is a way to overcome this issue. You have to use a call pointcut instead of a execution pointcut, because this way you can match who is performing the call. So, binding the following pointcut expression to throwMultefileException advice should fix your problem: call(public void com.ecebs.unittest.aop.AOPUnitTestManagerBean->createObject(..)) AND withincode(public void *->testCreateObject_MultefileException()) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4221636#...
