Aspects with Annotations

Problem

Define a pointcut for annotated methods. The most example are based only on @within or @annotation which has the downside that the aspect is added to all methods and the check of the annotation is executed during runtime.

Solution

@Aspect
@Component
public class MethodAspect {
    /**
     * This ensures that the aspect is only woven into methods with the annotation.
     * Otherwise all methods are woven!
     */
    @Pointcut("execution(@MethodAnnotation * * (..))")
    private void isAnnotated() {};
    /**
     * (optional) Limit package scan to our project only
     */
    @Pointcut("execution(* your.project.package..*(..))")
    private void isInPackage() {};

    @Around("isAnnotated() && isInPackage() && @annotation(annotation)")
    public Object logExecutionTime(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint, 
                                   MethodAnnotation annotation) throws Throwable {
        return joinPoint.proceed();
    }
}
