Don't use "and" operator to link aspect designators. In Java you can use the "&&" operator. "and" is only available in XML.

However, if the parameters of each method are not the same, how to do？

I'll tell you:

Spring uses the Annotation annotation using the Joinpoint interface declaration in aopalliance.jar:org.aopalliance.intercept.Joinpoint.

The xml configuration is used Joinjoint.jar Join statement:org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint.

So, you should use aspectj's JoinPoint in method.

@Before("thinking(thoughts)")

should be

@Before("thinking(String) && args(thoughts)")

@Pointcut("execution(* springdemo2."
    + "Thinker.thinkOfSomething(String)) and args(thoughts)")

should be

@Pointcut("execution(* springdemo2."
    + "Thinker.thinkOfSomething()) && args(thoughts)")
