Is negation( '!' Not Operator ) correct way of doing it ??. If so please advise me how to use it.. The pointcut expression which i tried gives PointcutExpressionExcpetion. In the below package structure i want to intercept all the classes *except com.mycom.common.util package classes.*      com.mycom.common      com.mycom.common.util      com.mycom.common.dao      com.mycom.common.entity      com.mycom.common.service            <bind pointcut="execution(* com.mycom.common.*->*(..)) AND execution(* !com.mycom.common.util.*->*(..)) ">                   <interceptor-ref name="com.mycom.aop.MyInterceptor"/>           </bind> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/605138#605138] Start a new discussion in JBoss AOP at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
