Does anyone know why the following AOP/AspectJ doesn't work in Examples 2,3 ?
Note: Example 1 works.
My goal is to intercept the firing of Hibernate Query's executeUpdate(), which occurs throughout the application. Hibernate Query is an interface, and I see in the code that the implementing class I get back is QueryImpl. So that is the class I want to target, although I've tried generic filters too.
XML
<aop:config>
<aop:aspect id="myAspect" ref="aspectBean">
<!-- EXAMPLE 1: SIMPLE TEST: WORKS OK.
I intercept all methods in all my custom classes in "dao" package. -->
<aop:pointcut id="test1" expression="execution(* myapp.dao.*.*(..))" />
<aop:before pointcut-ref="test1" method="doTest1" />
<!-- EXAMPLE 2: DOESN'T WORK.
Target everything in Hibernate's Impl package with executeUpdate() function -->
<aop:pointcut id="executeUpdate2" expression="execution(* org.hibernate.impl..*..executeUpdate(..))" />
<aop:before pointcut-ref="executeUpdate2" method="handleExecuteUpdate" />
<!-- EXAMPLE 3: DOESN'T WORK.
Target QueryImpl specifically -->
<aop:pointcut id="executeUpdate3" expression="execution(* org.hibernate.impl.QueryImpl.executeUpdate(..))" />
<aop:before pointcut-ref="executeUpdate3" method="handleExecuteUpdate" />
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>
<bean id="aspectBean" class="myapp.util.AOPAspect">
</bean>
I know for a fact the Hibernate hierarchy is correct. Example #1 works great so I know the AOP/AspectJ is wired properly. Is there something about external library traversal that doesn't support AOP/AspectJ?
