Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ and packages

[Adrian Colyer <adrian_colyer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

for a fully qualified type referenced
in a pointcut AspectJ uses the normal import mechanism, so you need to
write:

(In source file MyAspect.aj for example)

package mypackage;
import cd.adnovum.project.*;

public aspect MyAspect {

  pointcut x() : execution(* MyClass.method(..));

}


If you don't import the type, then AspectJ
looks for a type "MyClass" in the default package (and will give
you a warning if it doesn't find one). The pattern:

* *.MyClass.method(..)

will match a class named MyClass in
a top-level package (eg.  foo.MyClass, bar.MyClass, but not foo.bar.MyClass).
 The pattern

* *..MyClass.method()

will match a class named MyClass in
package with at least  one component in the name (eg. foo.MyClass
and foo.bar.MyClass). Using a pattern like this matches regardless of imports.

Has anyone an idea why pointcuts like

                
execution(* ch.adnovum.project.MyClass.method(..))

work but

                
execution(* MyClass.method(..))

doesn't work?? (as long as the aspect is not in the same package or does
import ch.adnovum.project.*)

I also tried * *.MyClass.method(..) but doesn't work either.

Is there an easy way to select a method of a class that is not in the 
same package but does away with the whole package path in the pointcut??

Regards,
Simon
