Aspect Orientet Programming (AOP) using reflective feature delegation? [message #423638] Fri, 03 October 2008 17:15 Go to next message

Hi,

given a dynamic model or a generated model with "feature delegation"
set to "Reflective". In both cases, overriding, the eGet, eSet etc
methods in the base class allow you to intercept the set/get calls.

That opens the door for aspect oriented programming! That
means you can intercept the set and get methods and create
advices like "around".

My question is: is there already some code/project that does
AOP for EMF using reflective feature delegation?

Note that we added a new pattern "Dynamic" in EMF 2.5 that accomplishes
the same goal, but still delegates through tailorable getX methods.

CDO makes good use of this type of thing too...

Eike did some stuff with AOP for legacy models with CDO, but I don't
know of anyone else.

Cool, then I'll take a look at 2.5 and at CDO.

Ed,

Is there any documentation or bug report to learn more about that
feature?

Michael,

I know it's really hard to find what you need among all the copious
documentation we provide

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=232414


But there was a bug that was fixed in this week's I-build. It's
basically the same pattern as always, eGet(<x>) calls getX but rather
than return a variable, it calls eDynamicGet(<x>). So the net effect is
exactly the same, but by filtering through the generated method, it's
easier to override the behavior.
