onSetExpression

protected void onSetExpression(String expression)
                        throws IllegalArgumentException
Called when a new pointcut expression is set. The expression should be parsed at this point if possible.

This implementation is empty.

Parameters:
expression - expression to set
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the expression is invalid
