[aspectj-users] Accessing private fields

["Alain van den Hove" <A_vandenHove@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody!

I'm trying to access private fields by reflection to get a class's
contents, it doesn't work unless i had the code directly into the class
that i want to inspect

In this aspect, I had the function showClassContent() to the class
ExampleMain that I want to inspect :

public aspect TraceMyClasses {

public void ExampleMain.showClassContent() {
	Field[] fieldTab = this.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
	for(int i=0;i<fieldTab.length-1;i++) {
		String fieldName = fieldTab[i].getName();
		String fieldValue;
		try {
			fieldValue=fieldTab[i].get(this).toString();
		} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
			fieldValue="Unable to access";
		}
	}

void around (ExampleMain myClass, Object arg): execution(void *.*(..))
	   && this(myClass) && args(arg) {
		try { proceed(myClass,arg); }
		catch (Exception e) {
			myClass.showClassContent();
		}	
	}
}

But I can't get the value of private fields.. How can I do ?

Thanks in advance
Alain
