RE: [aspectwerkz-user] Is there a way to get a pointcut name from within an around advic e?

Alex,

Thank you for the reply.

I could not find how to get to the pointcut name but I can specify it as
parameter to an advice, e.g.

       <aspect  name="1" class="HelloWorldHijacker">

         <param name="pointcutName" value="greetMethod"/>
		 <pointcut name="greetMethod" expression="execution(*
testAOP.HelloWorld2.greet(..))"/>
		 <advice name="yellifyier" type="around"
bind-to="greetMethod"/>

       </aspect>

        <aspect name="2" class="HelloWorldHijacker">

            <param name="pointcutName" value="fooMethod"/>
            <pointcut name="fooMethod" expression="execution(*
testAOP.HelloWorld2.foo(..))"/>
            <advice name="yellifyier" type="around" bind-to="fooMethod"/>

        </aspect>

Btw, just wanted to let you know that the following does not work for
"fooMethod" (no match)

       <aspect class="HelloWorldHijacker">

	   <pointcut name="greetMethod" expression="execution(*
testAOP.HelloWorld2.greet(..))"/>
	   <advice name="yellifyier" type="around" bind-to="greetMethod"/>

         <pointcut name="fooMethod" expression="execution(*
testAOP.HelloWorld2.foo(..))"/>
         <advice name="yellifyier" type="around" bind-to="fooMethod"/>

       </aspect>

(See the program output below) Is it a bug or a feature?

Hi

You may have an aspect constructor that accepts
org.codehaus.aspectwerkz.AspectContext as single parameter.
From that instance you can access the AspectDefinition that should contain
what you need.

Another option would be to use Annotation defined aspect and access the
annotation using the AspectWerkz Annotations.* API (works on Java
1.4 as well).

Last, another option would be to use
SystemDefinitionContainer.getDefinition(uuid, ClassLoader) that should
contain the AspectDefinitions of the deployed aspects.
