@Before not working with arguments

[tonycav]

I have created a Aspect EmployeeAspect.aj



@Aspect
public aspect EmployeeAspect {


@Before("execution(* com.employee.domain.*.persist(..))")
public void doIDcheck(){
System.out.println("Called before Persist");
}

@Before("execution(* com.employee.domain.*.persist())&& args(entity)")
public void doIDcheck(EmployeeEntity entity){
System.out.println("Called before Persist with entity");
}
}

The method doIDcheck is called when I call enity .persist() It works for the doIDcheck with no arguments. But is not called with arguments added.

Thanks for any help,

I think I got my understanding wrong, it wont call persist since persist does not take any arguments. I have a method setEmployee which takes a employee as an argument.

so I added the following method to my aspect


@Before("execution(* com.employee.service.*.setEmployee())&& args(emp)")
public void doIDcheck(Employee emp){
System.out.println("Called before setEmployee");
}

Which still does not work.

Thanks for any help

My bad


@Before("execution(* com.employee.service.*.setEmployee())&& args(emp)")


should be

@Before("execution(* com.employee.service.*.setEmployee(..))&& args(emp)")
