[aspectj-users] after advice with overridden methods

["Lendvai Attila" <Attila.Lendvai@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Message

hello all,

if i have the following setup: (three classes, extending each other and overriding a function)

class A
{
        void init()
        {
                System.out.println("A.init()");
        }
}

class B extends A
{
        void init()
        {
                System.out.println("B.init()");
               
                super.init();
        }
}

class C extends B
{
        void init()
        {
                System.out.println("C.init()");
               
                super.init();
        }
}

private static aspect Chain {
        pointcut f() : execution(void A.init());

        after(A a) : f() && this(a)
        {
                System.out.println("After init, this [" + a + "] thisJoinPoint [" + thisJoinPoint + "]");
        }
}


in the main:

C c = new C();
c.init();

output:

C.init()
B.init()
A.init()
After init, this [com.netvisor.nvsr.client.Factorial$C@1fc2fb] thisJoinPoint [execution(void com.netvisor.nvsr.client.Factorial.A.init())]
After init, this [com.netvisor.nvsr.client.Factorial$C@1fc2fb] thisJoinPoint [execution(void com.netvisor.nvsr.client.Factorial.B.init())]
After init, this [com.netvisor.nvsr.client.Factorial$C@1fc2fb] thisJoinPoint [execution(void com.netvisor.nvsr.client.Factorial.C.init())]

shouldn't be there only one After init message? note that it's A.init(), not A+.init() in the pointcut! changing to A+ does not have any effect on the output.

i can workaround the problem by adding && !cflowbelow(f()) to the advice, but in a much more complex scenario it does not get called for all the object i would like to... :(

so my question is: is everything ok with the above output?

thanks in advance,
