Re: RES: [aspectj-users] AspectJ with Servlets on Tomcat 5.x

[Jordi Cabré <cabrejcr@xxxxxxxx>]

I've copied aspectjrt.jar inside WEB-INF/lib directory but, it doesn't 
work. Mmm, There is something that I don't unserstand. If I implement an 
aspect with an pointcut that captures all methods sets*(int) of a class 
and I introduce an before type advise, AspectJ introduces my /before 
advise code/ before of all sets*(int) methods of my class. So, that is, 
if I have main method in my project -->

public static void main (String[] args) {
 MyClass o = new MyClass();
 o.setName("hello");
}

public aspect LogAspect {
 pointcut sets (MyClass c) : call(* MyClass.set*(int)) && target(c);

 before (MyClass c) : sets(c) {
   System.out.println("byby");
 }
}

So, AspectJ weaver introduces -->

public static void main (String[] args) {
 MyClass o = new MyClass();
 *LogAspect.aspectOf().ajc$before$LogAspect ....*
 o.setName("hello");
}

So, AspectJ introduces a call of my /before advice/.
but, How on earth AspectJ can introduce this code in a web application? 
Web applications have not main procedures. I don't know, I unserstand 
nothing.
