Re: [aspectj-users] How to get the pointcut from an AdviceElement ?

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, this code might do it for you:

ISourceRange range = adviceElement.getSourceRange();
AJCompilationUnit unit = (AJCompilationUnit) adviceElement.getCompilationUnit();
unit.requestOriginalContentMode();  // get actual AJ contents of file
(transformed Java-like syntax)
String contents = new String (unit.getContents());
unit.discardOriginalContentMode();  // return to transformed Java-like syntax
String advice = contents.substring(range.getOffset(),
range.getOffset()+range.getLength());
String pcd = advice.substring(advice.indexOf(':'+1), advice.indexOf('{'));
