RE: [aspectj-users] Get enclosing method signature of a join point
|
Jennie,
I presume you are using pointcuts other
than method execution e.g. field get to track coverage. The WeaveMessage
class gives you both the aspect and affected type name as well as the message
issued. From this you can determine which line numbers in which source
files will be monitored. Therefore you can actually determine the scope
in terms of source lines for a method (using the message for constructor-/method-execution)
and therefore which join point (shadows) it contains.
There have been a number of enhancements
since weaveinfo messages were introduced in Bug 36747 but a quick search
of Bugzilla yields nothing similar to what you request. I suggest you open
an enhancement describing the additional information you are looking for
and/or any extensions to the existing WeaveMessage interface. However,
this is quite a narrow use case and the request will be prioritized accordingly
;-).

Hi Ron,
Ok, I think I see where the confusion is. You are
assuming (and this must be the correct way of doing
it) that I need to access the enclosing method within
my aspect definitions. What I've really been doing is
grabbing weave data by parsing the --showWeaveInfo
messages through a custom MessageHandler. This way, I
have info on all the weaved classes even if they are
never hit.
I am working on a coverage tool, which needs to have a
comprehensive view of each class' methods; it needs to
know beforehand how many matching joinpoints to
pointcuts there are. At runtime, I keep track of
surrounding info about each joinpoint and update the
coverage numbers, based on whether or not they have
been executed. I'm currently able to give class-level
information, but thought it would be helpful to give
method-level coverage information also.
Does this make it clearer? Please let me know if it
doesn't make sense or if I'm completely missing an
easier approach to this.
Your previous answer was helpful to me because I
needed to know how to get enclosing method info on the
runtime side also.
Thanks very much.
