[aspectj-users] privileged aspects and Load-Time Weaving

[REV Tamas <tamas.rev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I would like to use a privileged access and weave it at load-time.

I did not see anywhere that it was not possible to do so.

On the other hand, I could only make it work with compile-time weaving so far.

Could you please help me to make it work (or just tell me it is not possible)?

I was playing with this mock project: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10721037/aspectj-access-private-fields

Code excerpt:

public class ClassWithPrivate {
    private String s = "myStr";
}

==========

package com.example.aspect;

import com.example.ClassWithPrivate;

privileged public aspect AccessPrivate {

    public String ClassWithPrivate.getS() {
        return this.s;
    }

    public void ClassWithPrivate.setS(String str) {
        this.s = str;
    }
}

==========

package com.example;

public class TestPrivate {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        ClassWithPrivate test = new ClassWithPrivate();
        System.out.println(test.getS());
        test.setS("hello");
        System.out.println(test.getS());
    }
}

I installed ADT to eclipse and now I can see the aspect weaved into the bytecode.
I saw this when I decompiled the code:
public class ClassWithPrivate
{
  public void setS(String paramString)
  {
    AccessPrivate.ajc$interMethod$com_example_aspect_AccessPrivate$com_example_ClassWithPrivate$setS(this, paramString);
  }
 
  public String getS()
  {
    return AccessPrivate.ajc$interMethod$com_example_aspect_AccessPrivate$com_example_ClassWithPrivate$getS(this);
  }
 
  private String s = "mystr";
}

So here is the question: Is it possible to do it with load-time weaving?
I disabled ADT, then I added the aspect to the aop.xml as I normally do. However,
the class that tried to access the privileged methods, that gave a compile error.

Thanks,
Tamas
