Re: [aspectj-users] Error in accessing private methods from a "privilege

[Irum Godil <softwarengineer2003@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron,

Thank you for your response and for logging the bug. However, I am not very clear on your workaround. Are you saying that inside my aspect B I use the following (see the highlighted line). If so, I tried that and I still get the same problem.

 

package b;

import a.*;

privileged aspect

B {

 

public void newA(Object a) {

}

public void A.newFun() {

this.returnNothing(new String("a"));

}

}

 

If you mean that I should define "returnNothing" inside of class B, then that will not really work for me. Because in the actual piece of code where I am having this problem, I need returnNothing to be visible in class A so other pieces of code not using the aspect can use it as well.

 

Is there any other workaround?

thanks.

Hi Irum,

 

This is compiler bug, which I have now reported. It appears to occur only when you have types in different packages and are passing an argument with a type conversion. Fortunately, I found that you can workaround it using this.returnNothing() in your inter-type declaration. I have reported it as a bug (#67578 - see https://bugs..eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67578)

 

I also found a closely related bug that crashes the compiler (bug #67579).

Subject: [aspectj-users] Error in accessing private methods from a "privileged" aspect

Hi,

I am seeing a strange scenario and I will really appreciate your help in the matter. Basically, I have an aspect and a class. The class has a private method and I want to access that method in the aspect. I have imported the class' package and I declare my aspect to be "privileged" as well. But I keep getting the error:

 

Error   The method returnNothing(Object) from the type A is not visible B.java Test/b 

Following is the code for it:

 

package a;

public class A {

private void returnNothing(Object a) {

}

}

 

package b;

import a.*;

privileged aspect B {

public void A..newFun() {

returnNothing(new String("a"));

}

}

I am not sure why is it not visible when I have declared my package to be privileged and also imported the package. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
