[aspectj-users] Constructor calls of classes that implement a given inte

[Christopher Mason <cmason@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I've read a bunch of the docs and I still can't figure this one out.  Is 
it possible to advise the successful return of the top-most constructor 
for any type that implements a given interface, and get access to the 
object being constructed?  Seems like it should be possible.

I want something like:

interface X {
}
class T implements X {
}

@Aspect
class A {
  @AfterReturning(pointcut="initialization(X.new(..)) && this(a)", 
returning="a")
void advice(X a) {
}

for any type T that implements interface X.  Based on the FAQ entry it 
seems like that should work, but it doesn't appear to.  Perhaps it's 
just a matter of my incorrectly translating to annotation style.

One final hitch:  the class I'm trying to catch via this joinpoint is 
itself an aspect.  Are there ordering issues?

Thanks a bunch for your help!
