One obvious way to specify static pointcuts is regular
expressions. Several AOP frameworks besides Spring make this
possible.
- org.springframework.aop.support.Perl5RegexpMethodPointcut
- is a generic regular expression pointcut, using Perl 5 regular
- expression syntax. The Perl5RegexpMethodPointcut
- class depends on Jakarta ORO for regular expression matching. Spring
- also provides the JdkRegexpMethodPointcut class
- that uses the regular expression support in JDK 1.4+.

+ Using the JdkRegexpMethodPointcut class,
you can provide a list of pattern Strings. If any of these is a
match, the pointcut will evaluate to true. (So the result is
effectively the union of these pointcuts.)
