To add my two cents :
With a call pointcut you
are able to handle the source and the target, with an excecution pointcut you
can handle the source only.
It is more academically
said below.

What's the different between call and execution
What Dean said is absolutely true. Anyway, I just
would like to say that, additionally, a call has more information about the
join point, since you can access the invocation static context, through the
variable thisEnclosingJoinPointStaticPart. E.g.,
public class C {
public void foo() {
bar();
}
public void bar() {
}
}
public aspect A {
// the output will be:
// call(void C.bar())
// execution(void C.foo())
before() :
call(public void C.bar()) {
System.out.println(thisJoinPoint);
System.out.println(thisEnclosingJoinPointStaticPart);
}
// the output will be:
// execution(void C.bar())
// execution(void C.bar())
before() :
execution(public void C.bar()) {
System.out.println(thisJoinPoint);
System.out.println(thisEnclosingJoinPointStaticPart);
}
}
Kind regards,
Paulo Zenida

For calls, the advice is inserted just before
transferring control to the method. For execution, the advice is inserted just
after transferring control, within the stack frame of the method. (This is my
naive way of viewing it.)
One implication is that you have to use call pointcuts if you want to advise
invocations of code in a 3rd-party jar that you aren't modifying with advice.
For example, suppose you want to log all calls to HashMap.get() for some
reason. Call pointcuts would add advice everywhere in your code that get() is
called. If you tried to write an execution pointcut for the get method, it
would only work if you inserted the advice in the JDK!
An advantage of execution advice, when you can use it, is that you only have
the overhead of advice code in one place, whereas call advice is inserted
everywhere that target method is called.
They AspectJ docs have better explanations of all this ;)
