I'm trying to add JPA EntityListeners to my Entities via AspectJ. However, I am either doing something wrong, or I am potentially running into an AJ bug.
I have the following aspect declaration: public aspect AutoAuditEventAspect { declare parents : @Auditable * implements com.ia.persistence.AutoAuditable; declare @type : @Auditable : @EntityListeners (com.ia.persistence.AuditEventListener.class); } Where @Auditable is my own annotation and AutoAuditable is an interface with a static Aspect Implementation. However, when I try to compile my project I get the following error: [ERROR] error at declare @type : @Auditable : @EntityListeners(com.ia.persistence.AuditEventListener.class); [ERROR] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [ERROR] webapp/src/main/java/com/ia/persistence/AutoAuditEventAspect.aj:9:0::0 The annotation @EntityListeners is disallowed for this location [ERROR] error at declare @type : @Auditable : @EntityListeners(com.ia.persistence.AuditEventListener.class); [ERROR] [ERROR] webapp/src/main/java/com/ia/persistence/AutoAuditEventAspect.aj:9:0::0 Syntax error on token ";", "name pattern" expected If I try to remove the @Auditable as the <type-pattern> and replace with "com.ia.domain.*", then it compiles fine. Am I not allowed to use an annotation as a type specifier when trying to introduce an annotation to the class type? Thanks, Eric
