Re: hot deployment and multiple pointcuts

Hi Joseph.

This holds for the coming release (and the latest snapshot in the CVS).

* I you add an advice dynamically using:

AspectWerkz.createAdvice("myadvice", "test.Advice", "perInstance", null);

* Then you can add it to a Pointcut using:

// get all the aspects for a certain class pattern
List aspects = AspectWerkz.getAspects("test.*");

// get the aspect we want (call it aspect)
...

// add the advice to the pointcut we want (need to use the same pattern 
as specified before)
aspect.getMethodPointcut("* to*(..)").addAdvice("myadvice");

* You can also retrieve a list of all the Pointcuts for a specific 
method or field using the MethodMetaData (or FieldMetaData) as a 
parameter. And then add the advice to the Pointcut you want.
Like this:

// get the pointcuts for a specific method
MethodPointcut[] pointcuts = AspectWerkz.getAspect("test.*").
	getMethodPointcut(MethodMetaData metaData);

// get the poincut we want (call it pointcut)
...

// add the advice to the pointcut
pointcut.addAdvice("myadvice");


Hope it clears out a few things.

Sincerely, Jonas.

Ps. What is the problem with accessing the CVS? Ds.
