Are you sure that this expression is the source of the error? What other pointcuts do you have defined in this (or other) aspects? The exception seems to indicate that a pointcut expression is defined somewhere with an absolute type name of "vo", which is not found.

[ngadde]

I declare one of the Pointcut in that aspect like this.

"@Pointcut("execution(* business.persistence.iface.BaseRecordAttrDAO.inser t(..)) && args(vo)")
protected void insertPointcut(BaseRecordAttributeVO vo) {}"

But what I don't understand is that how pertarget Pointcut related
other Pointcut declared in the Aspect. Is any thing I missing?

Thanks you for your response.

[Mike Bingham]

How is the following pointcut referenced in an advice method?

@Pointcut("execution(* business.persistence.iface.BaseRecordAttrDAO.insert(..)) && args(vo)")
protected void insertPointcut(BaseRecordAttributeVO vo) {}

Does the parameter name for the named pointcut match the name of the bound parameter in the advice method? For example:

@Before("insertPointcut(vo)")
public void someAdvice(BaseRecordAttributeVO vo) throws Throwable {
  ...
}

[ngadde]

parameter name for the named pointcut match the name of the bound parameter in the advice method? Yes

My Advice is
Code:
@Around("insertPointcut(vo)")
public void someAdvice(BaseRecordAttributeVO vo) throws Throwable {
...
}
