Declare pointcut for a package and all its sub-packages

[hezjing]

Hi

My service classes are created in the following packages:
com.myapp.service.base
com.myapp.serivce.base.security
com.myapp.serivce.base.file

and currently I have to declare the pointcut like the following,

  <aop:config>
    <aop:pointcut id="serviceMethods" expression="execution(* com.myapp.service.*.*(..)) || execution(* com.myapp.service.*.*.*(..))" />
    <aop:advisor advice-ref="txAdvice" pointcut-ref="serviceMethods" />
  </aop:config>

How can simply this?

Is there any way I can declare the pointcut in one simple expression to include all the sub-packages? without having to include it one by one using the "||"?

Please help, thank you!

You could use the following expression to define a pointcut on all methods of all classes in all subpackages of com.myapp.service:

execution(* com.myapp.service..*(..))
