How to get the PER_VM instance?

[hjames]

Hello,

I wonder if there are any API methods to get the aspect instances like the ?aspectOf()? method of AspectJ?

In particular, I?d like to get the PER_VM instance of a specific aspect class (which implements the Interceptor interface.)

Thanks.

Yep,

To get the PER_VM instance, you would do:

MyAspect myAspect = (MyAspect) AspectManager.instance().getPerVMAspect("org.blah.MyAspect");

Note that all instrumented classes implement the org.jboss.aop.Advised interface. So for other scopes you would cast an instance to Advised.

Advised has the following two methods:

InstanceAdvisor _getInstanceAdvisor();
 Advisor _getAdvisor();

Advisor allows you to get PER_CLASS scoped aspect instances via the getPerClassAspect() method. (It takes the aspect class name as its parameter)

InstanceAdvisor allows you to get PER_INSTANCE scoped aspect instances via the getPerInstanceAspect() method. (It takes the aspect class name as its parameter)
