[aspectj-users] Access to annotation values through reflection

["Jon S. Baekken" <jbaekken@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

As I understand it, all context that can be exposed via a pointcut,  
could just as well be accessed via the reflective API (i.e.  
thisJoinPoint etc). Is this equally true for annotations and  
annotation values using @this, @target, @annotation etc? I suppose  
you can get some of it using e.g.

thisJoinPoint.getClass().getAnnotations();

But is there also things one cannot get?

Thanks a lot,
Jon
