target(apoptotic.bookTrading.BookSellerAgent$CallForOfferServer);Thanks very much for your help
Rob
I assume when you say "when it is called from the class
CallForOfferServer", you mean
"when object A uses an object of type CallForOfferServer to call
action() method", right?
I mean you don't mean "when method action() is called from within
CallForOfferServer"?
Anyway, if my assumption is correct then what I would do is:
pointcut callAction() : call(* jade.core.behaviours.Behaviour.action ());
And in the advice use thisJoinPoint.getTarget().getClass() or
instanceof to check against CallForOfferServer.
I am not sure if it would work but anyway give it a try..
