Re: [aspectj-users] Running aspectj on application server

[doug.gschwind@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Mike,

For an aspect to be woven into your application, the bytecode from either your code or code your application depends upon (e.g. application server or third party jar files) must be modified either at compile time or at load time. You probably want to consider compile time at first since that is the simplest way to aspect-enable an application.

It is important to understand what byte code needs to modified for an aspect to be "present". For example, for call type point cuts, the AspectJ compiler must control the calling code, whereas for execution type point cuts, the AspectJ compiler must control the method being advised. While I don't have a URL handy to these details, consult the AspectJ documentation regarding what the requirements are for what bytecode must be controlled by AspectJ for your aspects to NOT be ignored.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Doug
