[aspectj-users] AspectJ and RMI problem

[Giacomo82 <giacomoghezzi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I just started using AspectJ three weeks ago and now I came across a
little problem (I'm guessing it's really really easy but I just can't see
the error I'm making).
I'm starting to use AspectJ to do some logging of RMI applications. In
particular I created the classic Hello World example in RMI. But I quickly
came across a problem when creating my Aspect.

To understand the problem I'll post the RMI server and the aspect I wrote: 

here is the Server:

package server;
import java.rmi.Naming;
import java.rmi.RMISecurityManager;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject;

public class ServerEngine extends UnicastRemoteObject implements Compute {

	public ServerEngine() throws RemoteException {
		super();
	}

	public String executeTask_1() {
		return "Hello!";
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		if (System.getSecurityManager() == null) {
			System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager());
		}
		try {
			ServerEngine engine = new ServerEngine();
			Naming.rebind("Hello", engine);
	        System.out.println("ServerEngine bound");
	    } 
		catch (Exception e) {
			System.err.println("ServerEngine exception: " + e.getMessage());
	        e.printStackTrace();
	    }
	}

}

And here is the aspect:

package myRMIAspect;
import java.rmi.registry.*;
import java.rmi.Naming;

public aspect MyRMIAspect {
	
	//Tracks the call to rebind
	pointcut rebindMethod ():
		call (* Naming.rebind(..));

	before(Object caller): rebindMethod() && this(caller) { 
		//Do some actions that I need fo my application
		}	
}

The problem is that I keep having the same warning for that aspect that
says: advice in [Name of .aj file] has not been applied[Hi, I just started

		}	
}

The problem is that I keep having the same warning for that before(Object
caller)....etc aspect that says: advice in [Name of .aj file] has not been
applied[Xlint:adviceDidNotMatch]
Obviously the problem is with the use of the this() pointcut designator,
because if I don't use it, there are no warnings. But I really need it since
I have to know the caller of the rmi method "rebind()" for the work I'm
doing.
I really don't know what the problem is, since used almost the same advice
many times in another application that wasn't using RMI (a client-server
application using only sockets)

Can somebody please help me?? 
Thanks!
Giacomo
