Re: [aspectj-users] Question about logging:

[Dean Wampler <deanwampler@xxxxxxxxx>]

You would have to write a special aspect that uses the "get()" or
"set()" on an instance field, then write advice that looks at the
value and logs appropriately. However, you can only do this on
instance fields, not locally declared variables.  An alternative is to
define special methods that are called when i is set and you write an
aspect that advices those method calls.Since you can't advice blocks
within a method, e.g., a conditional statement, this is the only way
to advice at those (unsupported) join points. I would consider making
those special methods protected or private (then declare the aspect
'privileged' so it can see them...) so they don't clutter the public
interface.

My $0.02,
dean
