[aspectj-users] No warning for class not found in parameter type

[Kevin Roll <kroll@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just spent hours tracking down a problem which turned out to be a  
peculiarity in AspectJ. I have a pointcut

	pointcut setter(PropertyChangeSupported b): execution(void set*(*))  
&& this(b);

which I use to pick out setters of a bean. The advice that uses this  
pointcut was not being applied when the parameter to the method was a  
non-primitive type. After much investigation I determined that the  
classes at issue were not specified in the inpath; adding them solved  
the problem. I use a tightly controlled inpath to minimize the amount  
of time that the AspectJ compiler spends when running. The behavior of  
simply ignoring those methods was very unexpected to me; it seems that  
some sort of warning should have been issued. Thoughts?
