RE: [aspectj-users] System.out.prinltn and advicing
|
Hi
My motivation for this is two-fold. The first beeing able to get rid of application output to System.out and System.err on the server, and directing them to the application logs instead. The second is identify where the origin of the messages are, so that we may instruct the developers to fix them.
I have taken the various advice that I have got on this thread and implemented an Aspect that does this (I have listed it below, so that anyone interested can use it). There are a couple of challenges left:
Calls to System.err and System.out from a static method (such as main) don't carry the the information about the method-name (main), so I'm left with line number in the code.
After Ron's note about stacktraces I started to try to add trapping for these too. So far I am able to catch the call to ".printStackTrace(System.out)", but it won't catch printStackTrace()
pointcut sysoutException(Object obj) :
call(* *.printStackTrace(..))
&& args(obj)
&& !within(BaseAspect+);
==============
Hermod
..
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import java.io.PrintStream;
public aspect SysOutLoggAspect extends BaseAspect {
pointcut sysout(PrintStream p, Object obj) :
(call(void PrintStream.println(..)) || call(void PrintStream.print(..)))
&& args(obj)
&& target(p)
&& if(p == System.out || p==System.err)
&& !within(BaseAspect+);
void around(Object obj) : sysout(PrintStream , Object) && args(obj) {
Object o = thisJoinPoint.getThis();
if (o != null) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(o.getClass().getName()).append(".").append(thisJoinPointStaticPart.getSourceLocation().getLine()).append(
": ").append(obj);
Logger.getLogger(o.getClass().getName()).log(
o.getClass().getName(),
Logger.getLogger(o.getClass().getName())
.getEffectiveLevel(), sb, null);
} else {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(thisJoinPointStaticPart.getSourceLocation().getWithinType().getName()).append(".").append(thisJoinPointStaticPart.getSourceLocation().getLine()).append(": ")
.append(obj);
Logger.getRootLogger().log(
Logger.getRootLogger().getEffectiveLevel(), sb, null);
}
}
}

Understood although that raises the immediate question of how one should in general handle other uses of these fields. You might log by actually shunting to a proxy (then again you can do that with System.setOut too). In many systems calls to println are mixed with other forms of output (print and printStackTrace) Sent wirelessly via BlackBerry from T-Mobile.

Hi Ron,
If the intent is to warn of direct (and possibly policy-breaking) uses of System.out and System.err, I agree with, you, matching the field gets is safer. But I think Hermod wants to replace the calls to println with logging of the same messages, so he needs to get the strings that were passed as parameters in these calls. In this case, he needs to match the actual calls to PrintStream.println. The "if" pointcut that tests the equality of the target with the System.out. and System.err instances makes sure there will be no false positives.
Of course, one could argue whether using AspectJ to replace the calls is a good strategy, since this causes more runtime overhead and doesn't actually fix the offending code, but that depends on Hermod's specific motivations and circumstances.
Regards,
Cristiano
