    <title>Introduction</title>

    <para>
      This chapter consists of very short snippets of AspectJ code,
      typically pointcuts, that are particularly evocative or useful.
      This section is a work in progress.
    </para>

    <para>
      Here's an example of how to enfore a rule that code in the
      java.sql package can only be used from one particular package in
      your system. This doesn't require any access to code in the
      java.sql package.
    </para>

<programlisting><![CDATA[
/* Any call to methods or constructors in java.sql */
pointcut restrictedCall():
    call(* java.sql.*.*(..)) || call(java.sql.*.new(..));

/* Any code in my system not in the sqlAccess package */
pointcut illegalSource():
    within(com.foo..*) && !within(com.foo.sqlAccess.*);

declare error: restrictedCall() && illegalSource():
    "java.sql package can only be accessed from com.foo.sqlAccess";
]]></programlisting>

    <para>Any call to an instance of a subtype of AbstractFacade whose class is
    not exactly equal to AbstractFacade:</para>

<programlisting><![CDATA[
pointcut nonAbstract(AbstractFacade af):
    call(* *(..))
    && target(af)
    && !if(af.getClass() == AbstractFacade.class);
]]></programlisting>

    <para> If AbstractFacade is an abstract class or an interface, then every
    instance must be of a subtype and you can replace this with: </para>

<programlisting><![CDATA[
pointcut nonAbstract(AbstractFacade af):
    call(* *(..))
    && target(af);
]]></programlisting>

    <para> Any call to a method which is defined by a subtype of
    AbstractFacade, but which isn't defined by the type AbstractFacade itself:
    </para>

<programlisting><![CDATA[
pointcut callToUndefinedMethod():
     call(* AbstractFacade+.*(..))
     && !call(* AbstractFacade.*(..));
]]></programlisting>

    <para> The execution of a method that is defined in the source code for a
    type that is a subtype of AbstractFacade but not in AbstractFacade itself:
    </para>

<programlisting><![CDATA[
pointcut executionOfUndefinedMethod():
    execution(* *(..))
    && within(AbstractFacade+)
    && !within(AbstractFacade)
]]></programlisting>
