How to write an Aspect pointcut based on an annotated parameter

Question

I\'m having a bit of trouble working out how to create a pointcut that will operate on beans that have a specific annotated parameter. My eventual aim is to validate the val

Answer 1

This is what I ended up at after fiddling about with it (imports omitted):

@Aspect
public class VerifyAspect {

    @Before("execution(* *(.., @annotations.MyAnnotation (*), ..)) && args(.., verifyMe)")
    public void verifyInvestigationId(final Object verifyMe) {
        System.out.println("Aspect verifying: " + verifyMe);
    }
}

No need for anything Spring-specific, as AspectJ already provides you with the parameters if so desired.
