Re: [aspectj-users] obtaining aspect value from advice around field get

[Christian.Hall@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for the fast response.

I got this to work with two notes:

- I had to make the aspect use runtime retention, which should not be required according to the docs which say this is only the case for args, target and this.
- I did not need your correction to the get pointcut...assume because one of these is optional in certain circumstances...I often have trouble figuring out when I need an asterisk and when I don't, but this works with just two!

My inability to figure this out may be based on my weak understanding of how the get pointcut works in fhe first place, so I apologize in advance.

I have something like the following in a class:

Class Foo
{
@MyAnnotation("aValue")
private String field;
}

and within an aspect:

String around() : get(@MyAnnotation * *)
{
//HERE
}

Change this to 

String around(MyAnnotation annotation) : get(@MyAnnotation * *.*) && @annotation(annotation) {
// do something with annotation.value();  // Get the string in the annotation.
}

Note that your get(...) had a little bug; the 3 '*' are the type, class, and field. 

Hope this helps.

How do I get the value of "aValue" from within the advice (marked //HERE)? I can get the target class and find fields, etc...but I need to know which field is the "target" (don't think it is considered a target from AspectJ's perspective) of the pointcut, etc.
