[aspectj-users] Pointcut question to simply subaspects

[Matthew Adams <matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I have a pointcut like the following:

public aspect TypeSpecificAspect {

  public pointcut accessingTarget():
    call(Person+.new(..)) || call(* Person+.*(..)) || get(* Person+.*) || set(* Person+.*);

}

I'd like to push the pointcut up into a superaspect so that all the subaspect would have to supply is the actual type _expression_ (in this case, Person).  Something like the following:

public aspect Super {

  public abstract pointcut theType();

  public pointcut accessingTarget(): /* demonstrating the point -- doesn't compile */
    call(thisType()+.new(..)) || call(* thisType()+.*(..)) || get(* thisType()+.*) || set(* thisType()+.*);

}

=====

public aspect Sub extends Super {

  public pointcut theType():  Person;

}

How can I achieve what I hope you understand I mean?

Thanks,

Matthew
