I have a base class with several derived classes that extend it.
I want to restrict my Spring AOP Aspect to the superclass only, so that the AOP Proxy would be created for it only and not for the derived classes.

I tried to define the pointcut as follows:

@Pointcut("execution(* com.blah.platform.persistence.generic.GenericDaoImpl.*(..))")
public void withinGenericDao() {}

where GenericDaoImpl is the superclass.

I still can see that proxies are generated for the derived classes as well:

I would think that this should only happen when the pointcut is defined as follows:

execution(public * com.mycompany.myservice.MyService+.*(..))

Any ideas?

    Can you change your PointCut definition from execution to within? I have had success with that in the past. (Note that the syntax is a little different. See the Spring AOP reference documentation for details.)

    e.g. @PointCut("within(com.blah.platform.persistence.generic.GenericDaoImpl)")
