[aspectj-users] Passing instance of Aspect into a pointcut

[Alex Rojkov <rojkov@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have an Aspect that defines @Around advice.

@Aspect 

class FooAspect {

  @spring.Autowired Env env; 

  @Around(some()) 

  public Object advice(String name) {

     return env.get(name);

  }

}

I'd like this Aspect to execute when env is not null and delegate to JoinPoint when it is null. 

@Around(some())

public Object advice(String name, ProceedingJointPoint pjp) {

   if (env != null) {

        return env.get(name);

    else 

        return pjp.proceed();

}

However, I'd like to avoid cluttering the advice and do something like this instead.

@Pointcut("if()") 

public static boolean isActive(FooAspect aspect) {

   return aspect.env != null;

}

 @Around(isActive() && some()) 

  public Object advice(String name, ProceedingJointPoint pjp) {

     return env.get(name);

  }

Question: is there a way to pass the instance of the advice to the isActive() pointcut? 

I'd like to avoid using Aspects.aspectOf() to get hold of the instance. 

Thanks,

Alex
