Greetings,
I have a need to leverage AOP to
encrypt certain POJO setter String args prior to persisting them to
the database
and to decrypt certain POJO getter methods return
String values after they have retrieved String data from the
database.
I wanted to do this using annotations.
For example:
@Encrypt
public void setCreditCardNumber(String
ccn) ...
@Decrypt
public String
getCreditCardNumber()...
and it looked promising, however, it
can only be used if you are using Maven to build
your project.
Unfortunately, I have no immediate plans to use Maven.
I haven't found any similar projects
which simply use Ant tags; so I'm attempting to "roll my own"
solution.
I've read through the AspectJ language
docs and haven't found any information on selecting join points
using annotations.
I browsed the docs on AspectJ 5
Developers Notebook regarding annotations, but it doesn't look like
what I need.
I only want the methods selected by
AspectJ if they have been properly identified using an
annotation.
Is this possible with the current
AspectJ version?
