Spring AOP Pointcut syntax for AND, OR and NOT

I'm having trouble with a pointcut definition in Spring (version 2.5.6). I'm trying to intercept all method calls to a class, except for a given method (someMethod in the example below).

<aop:config>
    <aop:advisor
         pointcut="execution(* x.y.z.ClassName.*(..)) AND NOT
                   execution(* x.y.x.ClassName.someMethod(..))"
    />
</aop:config>

However, the interceptor is invoked for someMethod as well.

Then I tried this: 

<aop:config>
    <aop:advisor
         pointcut="execution(* x.y.z.ClassName.(* AND NOT someMethod)(..)) )"
    />
</aop:config>

But this does not compile as it is not valid syntax (I get a BeanCreationException).

Can anybody give any tips?

This should work (spring AOP reference):

pointcut="execution(* x.y.z.ClassName.*(..))
          && !execution(* x.y.x.ClassName.someMethod(..))"
