EJB 3

Kabir,
In my interceptor class i can get a reference to the target object.
How can i get a reference to the caller object in the interceptor class?

Thanks

I haven't yet exactly figured out the solution to my specific problem.But here is somthing that might be of help - caller pointcuts(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=CallerPointcuts) and MethodCalledByMethod class in org.jboss.aop.joinpoint package.
If i am successful i will post a reply.
I am open to any ideas you might be able to throw in.

Kabir,

a) Can get the type of an invocation(whether its a METHOD)?
To be specific i was looking at -http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/05/28/aop_jboss.html?page=1

Things might have changed since the article was written.Wondering how to do the same with the new APIs.


b) Can i use org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodCalledByMethodInvocation to see if a method is invoked by another method?

Appreciate if you could point me to any examples.

Thanks.

Thanks a bunch guys!
I think i got the basic caller pointcut working for MethodCalledByMethodInvocation.

Here is a simple set of classes that i used for this purpose:

package DCR2;

public class HelloAOP {
 public static void main(String args[]){
 new callTest().printText();
 }
 public void callMe(){
 System.out.println("AOP!");
 }
}


package DCR2;

public class callTest {
 public void printText(){
 callMe();
 }
 public void callMe(){
 System.out.println("AOP!");
 }
}

package DCR2;

import org.jboss.aop.advice.Interceptor;
import org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.Invocation;
import org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodCalledByMethodInvocation;

public class HelloAOPInterceptor implements Interceptor{
 public String getName(){
 return "HelloAOPInterceptor";
 }
 public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable{
 if (invocation instanceof MethodCalledByMethodInvocation){
 System.out.print("MethodCalledByMethodInvocation, ");
 }
 else System.out.print("Hello, ");
 return invocation.invokeNext();
 }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<aop>
 <bind pointcut="call(public void DCR2.callTest->callMe()) and withincode(public void DCR2.callTest->printText())">
 <interceptor class="DCR2.HelloAOPInterceptor"/>
 </bind>
</aop>

new HelloAOP().callMe();

(a method call in the constructor)

instead of:
new callTest().printText();
