Progress update: I just noticed that if I use an annotation that is **not** defined in the same project as the aspect and test class, like org.apache.bval.constraints.NotEmpty instead of my own, the meta-annotation pointcut successfully matches, so it must be something about my maven ajc compiler configuration. I'm not sure what the error is, but I'll have to defer investigation until later.
However, I'm still wondering if there is a general meta-annotation syntax, that is, one that will allow me to ask recursively if an annotation or any if its annotations recursively are annotated with a given annotation. Seems like something having to do with a "+" pointcut operator, but I'm not sure. -matthew -- View this message in context: http://aspectj.2085585.n4.nabble.com/Method-constructor-validation-pointcuts-tp4650536p4650546.html Sent from the AspectJ - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ aspectj-users mailing list aspectj-users@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/aspectj-users
