[aspectj-users] How to track a caller

["Java guru" <javacand@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

 I have a situation where I need to get the information about the calling method.

 

By calling method I mean, the method from which a call to another method is made, which satisfies a pointcut def. I am providing an example below

 

pointcut interceptGetStament(): call(public String getTest(*));

 

 String around() : interceptGetStament(){
        MethodSignature sig = (MethodSignature) thisJoinPoint.getSignature();
        System.out.println(thisJoinPoint.getSignature().getName());
         return thisJoinPoint.getSignature ().getName();
    }

 

 

public class Test {
   
    public String getTest(String s)
    {
        return s;
    }
    
 }

 

public class Test1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Test t  = new Test();
        System.out.println(t.getTest("hellow"));
    }
}

 

Now when I run Test1, i need to printout the method which calls getTest(), in this case its "main".But what I am getting is "getTest" as it is the joinPoint. How do I go about it?
