Access the caller in a call(...) pointcut

zoid Jun 16, 2005 8:52 AM

Is there a way to access the caller object from the Interceptor when using a call(...) pointcut? Basically, an equivalent of thisJoinPoint.getThis() in AspectJ.

Thanks!

If it is a ConstructorCalledByMethodInvocation or a MethodCalledByMethodInvocation you can use getCallingObject().

What about MethodCalledByConstructor?

Basically, when my pointcut matches, I want to invoke a particular method on the caller object. It so happens that one of the calls is made from a constructor. Is there anyway to get to the calling object (the one being constructed) in that case?

I think target object is what you want. You need to treat all invocation subclasses separately, though.
