[aspectj-users] access properties from class

[Gerardo <gsegura@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
how can I access properties defined inside a class into which an aspect 
is inserted?
I'm trying to extend the log4j PatternParser so it recognizes custom 
conversion characters,

1:   public aspect xPatternParser {  
2:
3:   void around(PatternParser pp, char c):
4:         all(void finalizeConverter(char))  && target(pp) && args(c)
5:   {
6:       if(c=='i')
7:           pp.addConverter(new IPConverter(formattingInfo)) ;
8:       else
9:           proceed(pp,c) ;
10:   }
11:
12:   private class IPConverter extends PatternConverter {
13:  
14:      IPConverter(FormattingInfo formattingInfo) {
15:         super(formattingInfo);
16:      }
17:
18:      public String convert(LoggingEvent event) {
19:        return event.getIP() ;
20:      }
21:  }
22:       
23:}

in line 7 I tried to access a property and method I know PatternParser 
has but two errors ocurr:

7: [error] The method addConverter(PatternConverter) from the type 
PatternParser is not visible
pp.addConverter(new IPConverter(formattingInfo)) ;
    ^^^^^^^^
7: [error] formattingInfo cannot be resolved
pp.addConverter(new IPConverter(formattingInfo)) ;
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^

so how can I access properties from the class I'm trying to extend?

regards,
Gerardo
