Answer 1

AFAIK there is no pointcut expression for this...

You should consider configuring your logger to do what you need. Replace ae.printStackTrace(); by something like logger.warn(ae) (to print stacktraces to the console is quite bad practice anyways), and configure one of the email-sending appenders of your logging tool, e.g. log4j's or logback's SMTPAppender. Additionally, to make your configuration easier, you may use a business-dedicated logger.

If you really want to use aspects here, I think you'll have to expect all your business exceptions to bubble up at least one method, in order to use afterThrowing advices.
