@annotation with special parameter as Pointcut

[mrdanger]

Hello every body,

my methods are decorated with an annotation with parameter

@Validation(name="special")

My Pointcut/Before are:

 @Before("@annotation(de.xxx.xxx.Validation ()")

I want to define an Pointcut with the Annotation and with special Parameter. I dont want to use the args-Argument and use the argument in the method.

Can you help me oder give me an Advice?

Any reason why you don't want to use the argument in the method?

@Before("@annotation(validation)")
public void interceptValidation(Validation validation){
    if("special".equals(validation.name()){
         doSpecialValidation();
     }else{
         doNormalValidation()
     }

}
