    Precompilation+Field and Constructor pointcuts

    kado0002

      Hello!
      It seems that the precompiler org.jboss.aop.standalone.Compiler has got problems with anonymous classes and inner Classes.
      I've got written a Class with two anonymous classes. If I use the precompiler to compile my classes I get always exceptions when I replace the anonymous classes by normal classes the precompiler runs.

      Other problems (or two questions):

      1) is it possible to intercept a field access for a local variable? I've tried it out but it my example doesn't work.
      2) is it possible in a ConstructorInvocation to get the object that the constructor creates? (Practically the same as Object mi = invocation.targetObject by a MethodInvoctaion);
      I think it should be possible by an after-advice (finally Block). I've tried that too, but it doesn't work too.

      Can you help me please

          How can I reproduce the error? I've tested with inner classes, but not anonymous. Can you send me a sample file? bill@jboss.org. THankms

          No.

          If you want to access the constructed object, it is actually the object returned by invocation.invokeNext();

          Object constructedObject = invocation.invokeNext();

            I've tried it again with the Compiler and now it runs
            Probably I've made something wrong by my first try.
            I'm writing my Thesis (diploma) about AOP. First I used AspectJ and now JBossAOP since 2 weeks.
            And so I've another question!

            Is it possible to bind a pointcut to a constructor or method which is createt or called in an
            aspect class.

            Example:

            class AspectName{
            public Object constructorAdvice2(ConstructorInvocation invocation) throws Throwable{
             makePressure();
             press = (PressureSensorImpl) new fachcode.Nimbus1_0PressureSensor();
             return invocation.invokeNext();
            }
            }


            Can I bind an execution pointcut to the constructor fachcode.Nimbus1_0PressureSensor() and how can I make that?

            Can I also bind a caller pointcut to a method that is declared and called in an aspect class?

            Thank you for your efforts

              Hey, feedback is most welcome! Anything you can post about usability, features you want, features you don't like, bugs, etc... post as a new topic on this forum. Also, any bug fixes, or features you want to implement are also welcome!

              Yes, this should work. if it doesn't give me a yell on the forum.

              Yes, this should be possible as well! If not, let me know.

              These are the exceptions:
