Applying "Before" advice to all methods within a class using spring.net

Question

Say I have a class, "FQN.AuthorizeAllOfMe", with a series of methods, say X(), Y(), and Z(). Then let's say I have the following advice already:

public class AuthorizationAdvice: IMethodBeforeAdvice
{
    public void Before(MethodInfo method, object[] args, object target)
    {
    }
}

In an ASP.NET application, how do I configure spring.net in web.config to apply the advice to X(), Y(), and Z(). I would prefer to be able to apply it to all methods within AuthorizeAllOfMe, but I will accept individual applications of the advice to the three methods if that is not possible.

I am looking for the specific configuration needed given the class and method names above and using the "Before" advice, not a general description of how to apply aspects to methods.

See 13.2.3.1.1 in the Spring.NET Reference docs here http://www.springframework.net/doc-latest/reference/html/aop.html#aop-convenience-impls for instructions on how to use the Spring.Aop.Support.SdkRegularExpressionMethodPointcut class, which supports what you seem to be looking for. That section shows the following example, which you can easily adapt for your specific needs:

<object id="settersAndAbsquatulatePointcut" 
    type="Spring.Aop.Support.SdkRegularExpressionMethodPointcut, Spring.Aop">
    <property name="patterns">
        <list>
            <value>.*set.*</value>
            <value>.*absquatulate</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</object>
