Re: [aspectj-users] Why no args() for get()?

["David Mohr" <dmohr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll try the setAccessible, but if I can avoid reflection, then I'd like to.

target() gives me the wrong object though. A quick example:

class Foo {
  private String x;
  ...
  public void bar() {
     do something with x;
  }
}

if I had a pointcut on get(String Foo.x) && target(t), then I would
get get a t of type Foo, not of type String, which I would like to
get.
