Re: [aspectj-dev] Caller instance

[Russell Miles <russellmiles@xxxxxxx>]

Suggest using the this() pcd:

Something like:

pointcut tracedCall(Object caller) : call(* *.*) && this(caller);

before(Object caller) : tracedCall(caller)
{
  // Do tracing before
System.out.println("Before trace, caller:" + caller);
}

after(Object caller) : tracedCall(caller)
{
  // Do tracing after
System.out.println("After trace, caller: " + caller);
}

Worth bearing in mind though that the previous pcd won't catch calls 
made from within static code blocks as there is no 'caller' as such at 
those join points and so nothing can match to the this() pcd. You can 
also include static calls where there is no this(), there's an example 
available in the accompanying source code at www.aspectjcookbook.com.

Hope this helps,

Russ
