Need help creating a specific pointcut inside of a method?

It seems that you are using Spring's proxy-based AOP. If so, this is a known limitation. See Understanding AOP Proxies from Spring documentation for more details.

You have two ways to solve this issue: Use the AopContext.currentProxy() approach outlined in the documentation. I will discourage this approach, since your code will now be tied to Spring AOP quite explicitly. Use AspectJ's byte-code weaving.

Since there is no proxy involved with it, you won't have the issue with 'this' pointing to original object and proxy is transparently available only to external objects.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
