Allow the use of "this" in annotated named pointcuts, typedefs etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-5739
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5739
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Kabir Khan
         Assigned To: Stale Pedersen


Currently you have to use the fqn when referencing these things:

package org.jboss.test.microcontainer.annotatedaop;

@Aspect(scope=Scope.PER_VM)
public class SomeAspect
{
   @TypeDef("class(org.jboss.test.microcontainer.annotatedaop.SimplePOJO)")
   Object typedef;

   @PointcutDef("execution(* $typedef{org.jboss.test.microcontainer.annotatedaop.SomeAspect.typedef}->method())")
   Object pointcut;

   @Bind(pointcut="org.jboss.test.microcontainer.annotatedaop.SomeAspect.pointcut")
   public Object advice(MethodInvocation inv) throws Throwable{}
}

it would be better to be able to do:

package org.jboss.test.microcontainer.annotatedaop;

@Aspect(scope=Scope.PER_VM)
public class SomeAspect
{
   @TypeDef("class(org.jboss.test.microcontainer.annotatedaop.SimplePOJO)")
   Object typedef;

   @PointcutDef("execution(* $typedef{this.typedef}->method())")
   Object pointcut;

   @Bind(pointcut="this.pointcut")
   public Object advice(MethodInvocation inv) throws Throwable{}
}

The word "this" is just a suggestion, if we could get rid of it, that would be better. If we need to keep it, we might want to use something more recognisable for string replacement, for exampe "$this$"
