PointCut to match method annotated with certain params to the annotation

Question

I have this PointCut

@Pointcut("execution(@com.foo.bar.aspect.annotation.MyAnnotation* * (..))"
          + "&& @annotation(annot)")
public void anyFoo(MyAnnotation annot)
{

}

MyAnnotation looks like this:

@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface MyAnnotation
{
   boolean isFoo();

   String name;
}

Let's say I annotate a method with this annotation with isFoo set to true

@MyAnnotation(isFoo = true, name = "hello")
public void doThis()
{
   System.out.println("Hello, World");
}

How do I write my pointcut so that it matches only method annotated with MyAnnotaion AND isFoo = true?

I tried this but it doesn't seem to work

@Pointcut("execution(@com.foo.bar.aspect.annotation.MyAnnotation(isFoo = true, *) * * (..))"
          + "&& @annotation(annot)")
public void anyFoo(MyAnnotation annot)
{

}

Answer 1

You cannot write a pointcut like this because AspectJ does not support it. You need to use something like

@Pointcut("execution(@com.foo.bar.aspect.annotation.MyAnnotation* * (..))"
          + "&& @annotation(annot)")
public void anyFoo(MyAnnotation annot) {
    if (!annot.isFoo())
        return;
    // Only continue here if the annotation has the right parameter value
    // ...
}
