How to match methods which do not have a specific Annotation in AspectJ

Question

I have a custom Annotation called @Invisible. Now I want to match all calls an a method which DOESN'T HAVE an @Invisible Annotation. How can i do this? (with annotation style development)

My first try was:

@Pointcut("execution(!@my.package.Invisible * some.other.package.execute(..))")

but this doesn't seem to work...

In other words: if the method has the Invisible annotation I want to ignore it. Otherwise i want to execute some code with my advice...

Answer 1

try something like execution(* some.other.package.execute(..)) && !@annotation(my.package.Invisible)
