[aspectj-users] question on ajlib:

[Owen Corpening <owencorpening@xxxxxxxxx>]

With regards to ajlib:

http://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/ajlib-incubator/org.codehaus.ajlib

There is a class Log4jExecutionTracing not covered in the unit tests and for which there are no examples of its usage. It uses a class called "Traced" that I don't see anywhere and I *think* that is at the core of my not comprehending how to use this class.

Basically if I have a test tracing aspect like this it works great (DummyObject is the class whose methods are to be traced):

package com.AjlibTest;

import org.codehaus.ajlib.util.tracing.ExecutionTracing;

public aspect TestTraceAspect extends ExecutionTracing

{

public pointcut scope() : within(DummyObject);

before(): scope()

{

System.out.println("Tracing");

}

}

But if I change ExecutionTracing to Log4jExecutionTracing it doesn't weave anything (advice defined in com.AjlibTest.TestTraceAspect has not been applied [Xlint:adviceDidNotMatch]).

much appreciated,

Owen
