[aspectj-users] constants in case expressions

[Irum Godil <softwarengineer2004@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have the following code structure:

 

package a;

 

public class D {

static final int D_O       = 1;

 

...}

 

In the same package A i have another class:

 

package A;

public class L {

 

 boolean closeLog(int closemode) {
            switch (closemode) {

              case D.D_O :
                    lLog.shutdown();
                    break;
              }

           }

 }

.. }

 

All is fine here when I compile. Now, I want to refactor the above closeLog method. I define an aspect as follows:

 

//The aspect is in a different package

package B

 

privileged aspect C {

  //pointcut definitions...

 

 boolean around(Logger l, int closemode): targetLogger(l) && closeLogExec(closemode)
    {

               ...
            switch (closemode) {

                case Database.D_O :
                    l.lLog.shutdown();
                    break;

            }

}

 

Now, when I compile I keep getting error:

"case expressions must be constant expressions" on the line: "case Database.D_O :"

I do not know what I am doing wrong. My _expression_ Database.D_O is final i.e. constant, then why am getting this error? I am using JDK 1.4 and Eclipse 3.0. Any help will be appreciated.

 

thanks.
