Answer 1

This smells like homework, and I don't want to do that for you, but:

AspectJ / Spring AOP resources on the web are miserable.

Try if you can get a hard or digital copy of AspectJ in Action somewhere, it includes explanations of the cflow and cflobelow pointcuts.

Otherwise, here's a definition from the AspectJ Quick Reference:

cflow ( call(void Figure.move()) )

any join point in the control flow of each call to void Figure.move(). This includes the call itself.

cflowbelow ( call(void Figure.move()) ) 

any join point below the control flow of each call to void Figure.move(). This does not include the call.
