[aspectj-users] Re: Regarding weaving Java Programs

[Matthew Webster <matthew_webster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For call join points in the non-static case it is better to use the
target() pointcut (unless you explicitly wish to exclude subclasses):

      pointcut deliverMessage() :
            call(* deliver(..)) && target(MessageCommunicator);

otherwise calls to subclasses of MessageCommunicator that don't override
deliver won't be advised.
