@AspectJ pointcut for all methods inside package

Question

I have this working code for a specific package, but i want to configure it for all controllers, service and dao packages Eg

Answer 1

You just need to change your point cut to something like this :

@Pointcut("within(com.abc.*)")

Answer 2

Another alternative is to use

@Pointcut("bean(*Controller)")

But naming of your beans should be corresponding

Answer 3

How about one of these alternatives?

A) General execution pointcut with package restrictions:

execution(* *(..)) &&
(
    within(com.abc.xyz..controller..*) ||
    within(com.abc.xyz..service..*) ||
    within(com.abc.xyz..dao..*)
)

B) Package-restricted execution pointcuts:

execution(* com.abc.xyz..controller..*(..)) ||
execution(* com.abc.xyz..service..*(..)) ||
execution(* com.abc.xyz..dao..*(..))

I prefer B, by the way, just because it is a bit shorter and easier to read. As you have probably guessed, the .. notation means "any package or subpackage", whereas * at the end of the expression after .. means "any method in any class".
