[aspectj-dev] passing local state between join points?

[nick.nguyen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello,

I've seen examples that achive this by storing partial state of the stack
frame in member fields... but this seems like overkill when all I want to
do is keep values on the stack frame within a single method call.

Moreover, when multiple threads invoke an object it seems that i need to
use synchronization because I don't create the threads; Tomcat creates
them.

For example I have many methods of the form:

public void g()  {

jp1:  Long t1 = System.getCurrentTime();

      ...

jp2:  Long t2 = System.getCurrentTime() - t1;
}

I want t1 available at join point 2 without storing t1 into a member field.

Does AspectJ provide a mechanism for this?

Thanks in advance,
Nic.
