[aspectj-users] question on static crosscutting and TypePatterns

[Paul Brown <prb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted a version of this query to the aspectj-dev list and was 
directed to the users list as a more appropriate place...

I have the following two problems/goals:

1) Write an aspect that would add a default constructor to any class 
that does not have one.
2) Write an aspect that applies an interface Iface (public interface 
Iface { public String getValue(); }) to any class with a String 
getValue() method.

Essentially, I'm looking for a way to parameterize the TypePattern in 
"declare parents".  Am I missing something, or is this not possible in 
AspectJ?

Thanks in advance.
