Re: [aspectj-users] Tracing a method call

["Mohan Radhakrishnan" <radhakrishnan.mohan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

        I was thinking of tracing the flow of method calls from beginning to end.

(beginning)

method 1 -->

               method 1.1

               method 1.2 -->

                                   method 1.2.1-->

                                                        method 1.2.1.1(end)

 

Is it possible to bore into the api to trace something like this if we know only that method 1 exists ?

 

 

Thanks,

Mohan

I am not sure I understand what you intend to do: to track method3
invocation only when this happens in the flow of method2 called from
method1? If so, then look for the cflow/cflowbelow pointcuts.
