Hi – I am new
to aspectj, I am working through some example and trying to develop a few
aspects as a proof of concept.
The first aspect I am trying to develop is a real
simple caching aspect which caches objects based on the implementation of a
tag interface.
What I would like to do is when a constructor is
called, check if the class implements an interface, if it does check the
cache. If there is
no reference in the cache, proceed, cache the object
and then return it. Otherwise return the cached instance.
What I need to be able to do is get the name of the
class the constructor is being called on. My pointcut should really select all
constructors in the system (maybe confined to a
package) with any number of arguments. Once I have the class object or the
name,
I can determine if the cache should be
consulted.
Is this possible? If so could someone provide me with
an example of the pointcut and advice. I would provide what I have
already but I
am stumped as to how I can capture class of the object
I am trying to instantiate. My problem is I would like to capture the class as
context in
an around advice using a target() like
construct.
Thanks in advance.
