[ajdt-dev] AJDT / RAD / AspectPath again :(

["Marco Mistroni" <mmistroni@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello all,
 i have been posting long time ago a similar issue, i thought i have solved but i didnt.
Situation is like this

in my workspace i have 2 aspectj project

- myEJB which contains aspect related to ejbs
- myWeb which contains aspect related to web

AS of it is now,  myWeb has as project dependency myEJB.

I have one aspect in myEJB which needs to call an aspect in myWeb to get
the current user associated with a request (we are not using JAAS...).

so, what i did was to include in the myEJB/AspectPath   the WEB-INF/classes folder
of myWeb

Everything works fine at compile-time..
However, if i run the code at runtime, the aspect in myEJB fails giving a NoClassDefFoundException
for hte aspect defined in myWeb.

*********** sample code , myWeb aspect **********
public aspect TraceUserAspect percflow(loginFilter()){
    
    private UserDTO user;
    
    public TraceUserAspect() {
        System.err.println("Creating aspect instance...");
    }
      
    
    public pointcut loginFilter() :
        execution(void com.waersystems.ngenweb.login.LoginFilter.doFilter(
                                                                ServletRequest,
                                                                ServletResponse,
                                                                FilterChain));
    before() : loginFilter() {
        Object[] arguments = 
thisJoinPoint.getArgs();
        
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)arguments[0];
        System.err.println("Before. intercepted. path was:" + req.getServletPath());
        
        user = (UserDTO)(
req.getSession().getAttribute(WebConstants.USER_KEY));
        if (user != null)
                System.err.println("User is:" + user.getUsername());
                
    } 
    
    after() returning: loginFilter() {
        Object[] arguments = thisJoinPoint.getArgs();
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)arguments[0];
        System.err.println("Gotcha! intercepted. path was:" + req.getServletPath
());
        
        user = WebUtils.getLoggedInUser((HttpServletRequest)req);
        if (user != null)
                System.err.println("User is:" + user.getUsername());
                
    }

    public UserDTO getUser() {
        return user;
    }
    
}

*************** sample code. myEJB aspect ***************
public abstract aspect AbstractAuditAspect extends AspectEnablement {

    LogHelper log = new LogHelper(LogHelper.class);
    AuditFactory auditFactory = AuditFactory.getInstance();
    String methodName = "";
    
    /* This pointcut will collect informations from 
     * two different context..BUT IT'S Not working..
     */
    pointcut wormhole(String username, String password) :
            cflow(traceLogin(username,password)) && traceChanges();
    
    /* Traces user that logs in */
    pointcut traceLogin(String username, String password) :
        execution (* com.waersystems.ejb.user.userdetails.UserInfo.addContainer(String,String))
            && args(username, password);
    
    abstract pointcut objectChangeMethod();
    
    abstract pointcut traceChanges();
    
    before() : objectChangeMethod() && if(enableAspect()){
        methodName = thisJoinPoint.getSignature
().toString();
    }
        
    
    after(String username, String password) returning : wormhole(username, password) {
        System.err.println("INtercepted with wormhole. user is:" + username);
    }
    
    after() returning : traceChanges() && if(enableAspect()){
        // Getting arguments
        //String user = com.waersystems.ejb.aspectj.LoginAspect.aspectOf().getUser();
        UserDTO user = 
com.waersystems.ngenweb.aspectj.TraceUserAspect.aspectOf().getUser();
        
    }

***********************************************************

what approach shall i follow?
shall i put both aspects in myEJB project and set hte aspectPath to include also myWeb/WEB-INF/classes directory?

i really want to avoid to make myEJB dependent on myWeb just for this issue..  because myWeb is already depending on
myEJB, i want to avoid circular dependencies....

amyone could help?

thanks in advance and regards
