Re: [aspectj-users] Combination of Class Annotation and Method Annotation matching

Hi -

> Is there any way to get actually adviced signature info?

Not in the runtime API.

These are weave-time constructs; the runtime signatures of the join points
are used to identify the join point and don't contain all the information
used at weave-time (e.g., modifiers).  You might try enabling logging for
the weaver (sorry, no pointers on that right now) to see if when it is
working on a join point they log the signatures being matched.   OTW, the
enhancement request would be to log that.

As far as I know, since only methods are overridden, only method-execution 
and method-call have multiple signatures.  The signatures are simply 
the chain of inherited methods.  (e.g., if a method is private and a 
subclass implements the "same" method as public, it's not inherited or
overriding, so that signature is not relevant.)

Hope this helps -
Wes
