Is it possible to write a pointcut to intercept execution of some method which has some of its arguments annotated with certain annotation. For example method declared as follows: void someMethod(@SomeAnnotation String arg1) {...} It would be nice if pointcut like this would be possible: execution(* *->*(@SomeAnnotation *)) or even better: execution(* *->*(.., @SomeAnnotation *, ..)) - it would mean, that pointcut should match execution of any method with any of its arguments being annotated with @SomeAnnotation. If such pointcut worked it would be trivial to implement an aspect checking not null conditions on method arguments: void exampleMethod(String nullable, @NotNull String notNullable) {...} Regards Jarek View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4220096#...
