How do I specify a Pointcut which includes all public methods in a package hierarchy but excludes some specfic methods? - aspectj

Question

I have the following simple Aspect.
package com.example.foo.aspects;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.Signature;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Around;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Pointcut;
#Aspect
public class TimingProfiler
{
private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(TimingProfiler.class);
#Pointcut("execution(String *.toString())"
+ " || execution(int *.hashCode())"
+ " || execution(boolean *.equals(Object))"
+ " || execution(int *.getId())"
+ " || execution(String *.getName())")
public void whatIDontWantToMatch(){}
#Pointcut("execution(public * com.example.foo..*(..))")
public void whatIWantToMatch(){}
#Pointcut("whatIWantToMatch() && ! whatIDontWantToMatch()")
public void allIWantToMatch(){}
#Around("allIWantToMatch()")
public Object aroundMethod(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable
{
Signature signature = joinPoint.getStaticPart().getSignature();
logger.info("Entering method " + signature);
Object returnValue = joinPoint.proceed();
logger.info("Leaving method " + signature);
return returnValue;
}
}
I get the following message during compilation, however.
[INFO] Join point 'method-execution(com.example.foo.bar.baz.snack.SnackIdentifier com.example.foo.bar.baz.snack.Snack.getId())' in Type 'com.example.foo.bar.baz.snack.Snack' (Snack.java:78) advised by around advice from 'com.example.foo.aspects.TimingProfiler' (foo-profiler-lib.jar!TimingProfiler.class(from TimingProfiler.java))
And when I run the code I get log messages from the methods I am trying to exclude.
How do I correctly include all of the public methods found in the com.example.foo package while excluding some specific ones?

Answer 1

I was overlooking the fact that my PointCut was excluding int getId() and the methods I was seeing show up in the output were SnackIdentifier getId(). The correct answer to this question is to pay attention.
