Re: [aspectj-users] Use of the keyword THIS to access the name of the cl

[Dean Wampler <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a side note, since you're effectively doing "design by contract", have a look at Contract4J (http://www.contract4j.org) which uses Java 5 annotations to define the contract conditions and AspectJ to test those conditions.

You might decide it's too heavyweight for your needs, but you could look at the aspects as examples.

Hi,

 

I am verifying preconditions using AspectJ.

For this I create an aspect called PrePostConditions, it includes an around() advice for a service class. Whenever a method of this class is invoked, the Aspect comes into play.

 

Now – for a ceratin reason – I have to have access to the class’ name within the Aspect.

However, when using the “this” keyword, it refers to the aspect and not the class that the class advises to.

 

How can I et access to the class’ name or a reference to class for which the advice executes ?

 

Kind regards,

 

Jay
