[aspectj-users] Super calls to inter-type methods

[Dave Whittaker <dave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there.  I'm having trouble figuring out the best method to do  
something and I was hoping someone out there with more AspectJ  
experience might be able to help.

I am trying to use inter-type declarations on interfaces to simulate  
multiple inheritance.  The trouble comes in when I want to override  
the inherited method from an interface.  For instance if I have:

public interface SelectAction<T>{

	public void select(T selection);

}

public aspect SelectAspect{

	private T SelectAction<T>.selection;

	public void SelectAction<T>.select(T selection){
		this.selection = selection;
	}

}

then:

public class StringSelectAction implements SelectAction<T>{...}

Causes StringSelectAction to inherit the select method correctly, but  
what if I wanted to override the inherited method and say check  
permissions before selecting an object?  I can't have:

public void select(String selection){
	checkPermissions(selection);
	super.select(selection);
}

because the select method is not a member of the super class.  Is  
there a syntax in AspectJ to indicate I want to call the inherited  
method?  If not, what is the best practice for this type of thing?
