  Direct Known Subclasses:
    JdkRegexpMethodPointcut

      public abstract class AbstractRegexpMethodPointcut
      extends StaticMethodMatcherPointcut
      implements Serializable

  Abstract base regular expression pointcut bean. JavaBean properties are:
  - pattern: regular expression for the fully-qualified method names to match. The exact regexp syntax will depend on the subclass (e.g. Perl5 regular expressions)
  - patterns: alternative property taking a String array of patterns. The result will be the union of these patterns.

  Note: the regular expressions must be a match. For example, `.*get.*` will match com.mycom.Foo.getBar(). `get.*` will not.

  This base class is serializable. Subclasses should declare all fields transient - the initPatternRepresentation method in this class will be invoked again on the client side on deserialization.

          public AbstractRegexpMethodPointcut()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setPattern

          public void setPattern(String pattern)

      Convenience method when we have only a single pattern. Use either this method or `setPatterns(java.lang.String[])`, not both.
      See Also:
        `setPatterns(java.lang.String[])`

    - #### setPatterns

          public void setPatterns(String[] patterns)

      Set the regular expressions defining methods to match. Matching will be the union of all these; if any match, the pointcut matches.

    - #### getPatterns

          public String[] getPatterns()

      Return the regular expressions for method matching.

    - #### setExcludedPattern

          public void setExcludedPattern(String excludedPattern)

      Convenience method when we have only a single exclusion pattern. Use either this method or `setExcludedPatterns(java.lang.String[])`, not both.
      See Also:
        `setExcludedPatterns(java.lang.String[])`

    - #### setExcludedPatterns

          public void setExcludedPatterns(String[] excludedPatterns)

      Set the regular expressions defining methods to match for exclusion. Matching will be the union of all these; if any match, the pointcut matches.

    - #### getExcludedPatterns

          public String[] getExcludedPatterns()

      Returns the regular expressions for exclusion matching.

    - #### matches

          public boolean matches(Method method,
                        Class targetClass)

      Try to match the regular expression against the fully qualified name of the target class as well as against the method's declaring class, plus the name of the method.
      Specified by:
        `matches` in interface `MethodMatcher`
      Parameters:
        `method` - the candidate method
        `targetClass` - the target class (may be `null`, in which case the candidate class must be taken to be the method's declaring class)
      Returns:
        whether or not this method matches statically

    - #### matchesPattern

          protected boolean matchesPattern(String signatureString)

      Match the specified candidate against the configured patterns.
      Parameters:
        `signatureString` - "java.lang.Object.hashCode" style signature
      Returns:
        whether the candidate matches at least one of the specified patterns

    - #### initPatternRepresentation

          protected abstract void initPatternRepresentation(String[] patterns)
                                                     throws IllegalArgumentException

      Subclasses must implement this to initialize regexp pointcuts. Can be invoked multiple times.

      This method will be invoked from the `setPatterns(java.lang.String[])` method, and also on deserialization.
