Re: [aspectj-users] aspectJ with packaged classes
Thank you so much for that information, dean!

I still a little difficulty figuring out how this would work. Here is the scenario:
I have a Java project. I do not have the sources, i only have the jar. I would like to weave aspects into this. I create an aspectJ project and define the aspects i want. I add the Java jar in the inpath of the aspectJ project.

Now:
1. How do i execute the aspectJ project without a 'main' class? If i have to specify the 'main' class, what do i do in the main class?
2. How does it all work? If i execute the jar file, how are the aspects weaved in? How is the jar aware of the aspects?

Maybe i am missing something extremely simple here, but i am unable to figure out how this whole setting would function.

Thanks in advance,
Anirudh

Yes, use the "-inpath" option for ajc to specify the jars you want to "weave". Here's a good blog on the different path options.

Hi,

I am a new entrant into the aspectJ world and i am enjoying the ride so far.
I have used aspectJ with an existing project and it works as desired.

Now, if i have a Java project but i do not have the source files (i only have the jar), can i still use aspectJ? (I know the signatures of all the methods that i want to insert my pointcuts into)

The demo shows conversion of a normal project into an aspectJ project (in a step similar to instrumentation), i was wondering if this was possible with packaged classes.

Thanks in advance,
Anirudh
