Hi Eugene, declare parents accepts a type pattern, not a pointcut. A type pattern picks out types, whereas a pointcut picks out join points. The expression inside a within pointcut are is a type pattern.
Here's an example of using declare parents to match a type pattern, which is surely what you wanted to do with within: declare parents: com.xyz..* implements XyzType; -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eugene Kuleshov Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 12:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [aspectj-users] declare parents syntax Hi, I wonder why "declare parents" introduction syntax does not allow to use within(*) pointcut expression? This limitation lead to significant amount of duplication in the aspect code and/or makes xml-based aspect definitions more verbose. The only workaround I know is to "bridge" trough annotation introduction, but that approach does not work on 1.4 and looks like a hack. I thought I saw that it was possible to use within pointcuts for this in some old version of AspectJ but it was removed. I might be mistaken though...
