[aspectj-dev] [Fwd: Re: [aspectj-users] newbie question - got around on initialization not supported error...] 
Erik -

fyi, I changed the limitations appendix of the Programming Guide
to add the caveat for around advice on initializations:

----
The end of an exception handler is underdetermined in bytecode,
so ajc will not implement after or around advice on handler join
points.  Similarly, ajc cannot implement around advice on
initialization or preinitialization join points.  In cases where
ajc cannot implement advice, it will emit a compile-time error
noting this as a compiler limitation.
----

If that limitation will be removed in a 1.1.X release, we can
instead log the caveat as an "info" bug.

Hi -


I got a bunch of errors:
D:\Projects\mj\src\mjaop\com\mediajunkies\aspect\dev\Test.java:25 
around on

initialization not supported (compiler limitation)


ajc is directing you to one of its limitations: it can't
implement around advice on {pre-}initialization join points.
(If/since this is the case, we should document it in the
semantics appendix of the Programming Guide, as the
handler case is.)

If you don't know why it's picking out those join points,
most likely you have a pointcut that picks out a bunch of
join points for your around advice, e.g.,

   Object around() : within(MyClass) {
      System.out.println("start!" + thisJoinPoint);
      try {
	return proceed();
      } finally {
          System.out.println("end!" + thisJoinPoint);
      }
   }

You can exclude {pre-}initialization and handler join points
as follows:

   Object around() : within(MyClass)
          && !initialization(MyClass.new(..))
          && !preinitialization(MyClass.new(..))
          && !handler(*) {
       ...

Or you can re-write the pointcut to pick out other kinds
of join points.

Thanks for bringing this up -

Hi All,

I just started using AspectJ a week ago...tried out all the example.

When I try to use it in my project using iajc with ant, my ant setting is:

<target name="compilej" depends="resources,init">
  <iajc destdir="${build}"
	failonerror="off"
	argfiles="${mjaopSrc}/dev.lst"
	proceedonerror="on"
	verbose="off">
	<srcdir>
	  <pathelement path="${mjfSrc}" />
	  <pathelement path="${mjappSrc}" />
	</srcdir>
	<classpath>
	  <fileset dir="${build.classpath}" >
	    <include name="**/*.jar" />
	    <include name="**/*.zip" />
	  </fileset>
	</classpath>
  </iajc>
 </target>


I got a bunch of errors:

Am I missing something?
