Hi, I've just started playing around with JBoss AOP (and AOP in general).

I want to intercept method calls which are annotated with a "@Collaboratable" tag. The contents of the XML file defining the point-cut is shown below:

<aop>
 <aspect class="adi.framework.business.CollaborationAspectJboss"/>

 <!-- Prevent the triggering of @Collaboratable methods which have been called from within the dynamic context of other @Collaboratable methods. -->

 <cflow-stack name="duplicateCollab">
 <called expr="* *->@adi.framework.business.Collaboratable(..)"/>
 </cflow-stack>

 <bind pointcut="execution(* *->@adi.framework.business.Collaboratable(..))" cflow="!duplicateCollab">
 <advice name="collab"
 aspect="adi.framework.business.CollaborationAspectJboss"/>
 </bind>
</aop>

I also want to prevent the advice being triggered if a method annotated with @Collaboratable has another (or same) method annotated with @Collaboratable in its call stack. I haven't been able to achieve this with the "cflow" clause above. I was wondering if I'm doing this the right way.

Thanks...
Josh
