Re: [aspectj-users] Around Advice Generic
Your "methods" pointcut is missing the return type for the method and you should have 2 periods for the method argument list:

pointcut methods (): execution (public * A.* (..));

Actually, AspectJ might infer the return type. I always put it in the definition. The 2 periods is important! 3 periods should give a compilation error.

Also, make sure that "A" is visible without the fully-qualified package name, etc. I don't believe that AspectJ will flag an error if no "A" is visible, but you will get a warning that no join points were advised.

Hi,

I try to use around advice for a general use. I would like to use around for all the methods of a class which one does not know in advance the functions. For example, for a class A has which has 6 methods and a file aspectJ which defines a pointcut A.* for all the methods of A, is it possible to define a generic around for example:

pointcut methods (): execution (public A.* (...));

Object around (): methods () {
….
return proceed ();
}

knowing that the methods of A have different signatures ! I tested the code written above and it does not function, it never passes in the around  method whereas with a before or an after for the same pointcut, it works very well. If somebody already had to deal with this problem, I am waiting your answers!

Cordially

Antoine
