Aspectj matching pointcut whilst not caring about method-level annotation parameters

Question

I have stumped myself with a problem involving Aspectj. What I am looking to do is have an "after() throwing" match against a call annotated with a method-level annotation.

@MyAnnotation    
public void doSomething(Param p1, Param p2)

If I use

after() throwing(MyCustomException ex) : call (@com.me.MyAnnotation * *.*(..))

It works, however if I have add some parameters to my annotation then they do not get matched.

@MyAnnotation(value = "doobery")    
public void doSomething(Param p1, Param p2)

What am I missing from my pointcut??

Just to clarify, I would like to match both examples and I don't care for the parameters in the annotation either.

Ha! got it.

So the clue was seeing the trace out of what was being weaved. I could see some methods getting weaved and others not. But it was the duplication of the weave on methods that i had the break through.

I was using "call" - Thus the weave was only happening on calls of the method, so when I had a class being weaved with multiple calls to the matching methods they would appear multiple times.

I needed to switch to "execution" so that the weave would happen on methods even if they weren't being called.

Chaned my advice to:

after() throwing(MyCustomException ex) : execution (@com.me.MyAnnotation * *(..))
