Hi All,
Ive been trying to use a class level TYPE annotations to work with java 5 but have had no luck. Digging through the tests I found the instanceofannotated test package which works only for pre java 5.

The binding between the TYPE annotation and interceptor doesnt occur and my interceptor never gets called - can anyone tell me what Im doing
wrong?

ps. I would like to use an aspect rather than an interceptor; which is where i started before copying the examples - so some of the naming looks a little confused.

Regards Neil.

<aop>
<!-- <aspect class="org.neo.swarm.interceptor.within.WithinAspect" scope="PER_INSTANCE" /> -->

 <bind pointcut="execution(String $instanceof{@org.neo.swarm.interceptor.within.InterceptWithin}->doStuff())">
 <interceptor-ref name="aspect"/>
 </bind>
</aop>

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface InterceptWithin {

}

public class WithinAspectInterceptor implements Interceptor {

 public WithinAspectInterceptor(){
 System.err.println("created interceptor");
 }
 public String getName() {
 return "aspect";
 }

 public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
 System.err.println("Interceptor within got called with:" + invocation);
 return invocation.invokeNext();
 }
}

@InterceptWithin
public class SomeComponent {
 public String doStuff(){
 return "stuff";
 }

}

public void testWithin() throws Exception {
 SomeComponent component = new SomeComponent();
 component.doStuff();

 }
