Thanks for the link!

Yes, I am sure. The intent is to advise all calls to methods pertaining
to standard I/O; thus why I chose the java.io package. For instance, the
advice applies to calls to System.out.println(..) which is what I
desire, however, it also advises calls to StringBuilder.toString() which
does not pertain directly to I/O. I see now that the reason this call is
being advised is because StringBuilder implements the
java.io.Serializable interface.

Thanks for the help but this seems odd that something that can be
resolved statically would require a dynamic check.
