I have a privileged aspect that has a around advice for a number of calls.
The calls sometime invoke a method that has package visibility (the
calling class is in a different package)this results in a
java.lang.IlegalAccessError.

I would like to get "around" this with a privileged aspect. The way I
tried to do this is in the privilaged aspects around advice I get the
Target object and method and using java reflection and then try to invoke
the method from the aspect (in the around advice). However I get an
java.lang.IlegalAccessException saying that I cant do this from the class
foo the class foo contains the call to the method with package visibility
(it is not in the same package). I thought I could do this from a
privileged Aspect. Why cant I and is there a workaround?

The privileged modifier enables _direct_ access from advice and method
bodies i.e. "target.protectedMethod()" and has no effect on reflective
access. For that you will need to call "setAccessible(true)" on the method
object. BTW AspectJ questions are better placed on the aspect-users
mailing list.

Cheers

Your suggestion worked great... and yes .... I will use the aspectj
mailing list in the future.

Thanks again,
