RE: [aspectj-users] declare parents syntax
|
Hi Eugene,
It would be great to have a way to reuse type patterns in AspectJ... that's
something I've advocated for a while. That's how I'd improve on redundancy.
But if you are using declare parents you could use the new type in your
pointcut, i.e., use this pointcut execution(* *(..)) && within(XyzType+)
instead of execution(* *(..)) && within(com.xyz..*)

Thanks Ron, I know that. But the thing is that the same pattern is
used in pointcuts to apply additional aspects to the very same classes.
Hence a duplication that may lead to some unexpected typos.
regards,
Eugene
