Placing break-points in the instrumented code

[rkadayam]

Hello

We are trying to run debugging tools on our AOPized Session beans but we seem to be having trouble with setting even function break-points inside these beans primarily because the line-number information seems to have been lost/alered because of the instrumentation which I guess is un-avoidable.

But was wondering if any of you have any tips or strategies to share that would enable successfully debugging of the instrumented session beans.

Thanks in advance
Rajiv

When trying to figure out what was going on I did the following on the small examples in the tutorial. I realise that this will probably be totally unpractical on a real project due to the number of classes. Anyhow, here it goes:

1) Compile classes
2) Precompile classes
3) Decompile classes, and save over original sourcefiles (you might need to fiddle a bit to make them compile)
4) Compile source files created in 3)
5) Run (the classes are AOP'ed)

Probably not very useful for what you want, but the only way I have found...

PS in 2) I mean run the aop compiler

I think I know what the problem is. I don't think Javasssist's copy method copy's CodeAttributes which have the line numbers. I'll see what I can do.

Ok, this is fixed in HEAD and will be in RC2 release on Friday.
