Allow to specify bean qualifier in an AOP @Around / @Before / ... [SPR-11217]

[spring-projects-issues]

Francisco Lozano opened SPR-11217 and commented

Right now it's possible to specify bean(beanName), but it'd be great if you could say qualifier(whatever) so that you can wire aspects not only by bean name or by usual AspectJ pointcuts, but also by bean qualifier, so that any bean configured with

@Bean
@Qualifier("audited")
public MyBean myBean() {}

The same cannot be achieved simply with annotations, as annotation is at class-level and not at bean-level (and I can re-use same class in several beans).

I've implemented this as bean(qualifier), i.e. within the same pointcut designator, simply not just matching against bean names and aliases but also against String qualifier values now. While this extends the semantics of our bean designator, I do not expect issues with existing setups since specific bean conditions are unlikely to accidentally match qualifier values in corresponding bean definitions.

This is great. I will try it tomorrow the first thing in the morning. Thanks.
