RE: [aspectj-users] Question re: declare error

Hi Peter,

 

I would use within(Change+) instead of this(Change). That isn’t the exact same semantics as using this (*) but in most cases it would capture your intent: it makes it an error to set the field outside of code that’s in a subtype of Change.

 

(*) it’s based on the join points being lexically located inside Change. So it can differ because it won’t allow setting the fields in a base class that might be extended by a type that extends Change. It also doesn’t allow for setting inside of inter-type declared methods (you could extend the rule to allow those if that matters to you).

Thanks for your reply, Elizabeth.

That makes sense - do you see a way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

Cheers,

As I understand it, declare is a compile time error or warning; this(), target() and args() are all run time checks. Except in the simplest of cases, it is not possible to tell at compile time what the type of this, target or args will be.

I'd like to declare an error if my @Transactional attributed instance variables are being set outside of the context of a Change object.  In other words, I'd like to have an error in this case:

public class Foo
{
    @Transactional
     String name

      public void setName(String newName)
      {
            name = newName;
      }
}

But not in this case:

public class Foo
{
    @Transactional
     String name

      public void setName(String newName)
      {
            new ValueChange<String>(name, newName)
            {
                 public void set(String value)
                  {
                        name = value;
                  }
             }.post();
      }
}

It seems like this kind of aspect should do that:

public aspect FieldChangeAspect
{
    declare error :
        set(@Transactional * *) &&
        !this(Change)  : "Set of @Transactional variable not in Change object";
}

But this gives me an error saying "this() pointcut designator cannot be used in declare statements."  BTW,  target(), and args() also give the same error for declare statements i guess, so you can't filter on types of this, target, or args in declares.

Am I missing something?  Is there a reason for this or could these be enhancements?

Cheers,
