| Re: [aspectj-users] making methods throw exceptions |
Hi Anish, This subject has already been brought up in the past ;-)AspectJ doesn't allow change method signature. Some people already said that it would be very useful to have this power to add an exception in a method throws clause. In fact, we submitted this as a feature request to the AspectJ team, which was in a list to be considered in the future (I couldn't find the link for this features list, does anyone have it?)
You must work with softened exception http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/aspectj-home/doc/progguide/semantics-declare.html#d0e6393 as stated in the AspectJ project FAQ page http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/aspectj-home/doc/faq.html#q:methodsignatures

Hi guys,(I have enrolled to the list a couple of days ago so I don't know if this subject has already been brought up in the past...)We have been experimenting with aspects for the last couple of weeks and we were wondering if we can have an aspect that would change the signature of a method (of a class or an interface) and make it throw an exception; something like this:public class/interface Test { // before public void compute() {} // after public void compute() throws MyException {} }(Of course, around advices should be specified for all calls to "compute" in order to add try and catch blocks...)If this is not allowed, can anyone suggest possible workarounds?
