[aspectj-dev] RE: Inter-type declaration for annotated classes

["Juan Bernabo" <juan.bernabo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron,

I tried, but hibernate especifically does not recognize the field as a field on the class via reflection, so it doesn´t help.

But if I do this, it works, well I have to declare it public, but works.

@ javax.persistence.Id <http://javax.persistence.Id>
public String TestEntity.id;

I just wanted to be able to introduze a field to an annotated class and by reflection an user of the class could not distinguish if it was introduced by an aspect.

Juan.

Juan,



You need to use declare parents to make the annotated types implement a
marker interface, and then do your inter-type declaration on the interface.

Hi,

I would like to know if is supported in AspectJ an inter-type declaration of
a field or a method for an annotated class.

I want to introduce a field, into a class annotated with @Identifiable

@Identifiable
class TestEntity
{
....
};

In the aspect I want to introduce a new field or method like:

@ javax.persistence.Id <http://javax.persistence.Id>
String TestEntity.id;

Declaring the field that way works but I don´t to want to explicit the
class, I want to introduce this field in any class with the @Identifiable
annotation, probably the declaration would be something like this:

@javax.persistence.Id
String @ Identifiable.id < http://Identifiable.id> ;

I tried putting the field in a new class and introduce it by declare
partents, that supports annotations but hibernate and other products does´t
seem to like this, as it´s not exactly part of the original class.

Is this supported, if not, will this be supported?

Thanks in advance,
Juan.
