[aspectj-users] Re: How to ask for values of local variables?

[Matthew Webster <matthew_webster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Markus,

>AspectJ doesn't expose local variables as part of a pointcut's context. So
you will want to refactor your code >(e.g., with Extract Method or even
Replace Method with Method Object).

Another trick if you can't refactor your code is to locate the join point
where your local variable is being assigned, often the result of a method
call, and advise that instead.
