This chapter consists of very short snippets of AspectJ code,
typically pointcuts, that are particularly evocative or useful.
This section is a work in progress.
</p><p>
Here's an example of how to enfore a rule that code in the
java.sql package can only be used from one particular package in
your system. This doesn't require any access to code in the
java.sql package.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
/* Any call to methods or constructors in java.sql */
pointcut restrictedCall():
call(* java.sql.*.*(..)) || call(java.sql.*.new(..));
/* Any code in my system not in the sqlAccess package */
pointcut illegalSource():
within(com.foo..*) &amp;&amp; !within(com.foo.sqlAccess.*);
declare error: restrictedCall() &amp;&amp; illegalSource():
"java.sql package can only be accessed from com.foo.sqlAccess";
</pre><p>Any call to an instance of a subtype of AbstractFacade whose class is
not exactly equal to AbstractFacade:</p><pre class="programlisting">
pointcut nonAbstract(AbstractFacade af):
call(* *(..))
&amp;&amp; target(af)
&amp;&amp; !if(af.getClass() == AbstractFacade.class);
</pre><p> If AbstractFacade is an abstract class or an interface, then every
instance must be of a subtype and you can replace this with: </p><pre class="programlisting">
pointcut nonAbstract(AbstractFacade af):
call(* *(..))
&amp;&amp; target(af);
</pre><p> Any call to a method which is defined by a subtype of
AbstractFacade, but which isn't defined by the type AbstractFacade itself:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
pointcut callToUndefinedMethod():
call(* AbstractFacade+.*(..))
&amp;&amp; !call(* AbstractFacade.*(..));
</pre><p> The execution of a method that is defined in the source code for a
type that is a subtype of AbstractFacade but not in AbstractFacade itself:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
pointcut executionOfUndefinedMethod():
execution(* *(..))
&amp;&amp; within(AbstractFacade+)
&amp;&amp; !within(AbstractFacade)
