Re: [aspectj-users] Accessing protected methods of parent class from wit

[Sina <my.linked.account@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,

First of all: the autocomplete function in my IDE (Eclipse 3.7.1) does not list the protected method as child's methods. (Is this the normal behavior?)
Second : when I write c.foo() in my aspect I get this warning from eclipse: 

"This affected type is not exposed to the weaver: com.somewhere (needed for privileged access [Xlint:typeNotExposedToWeaver])"
there are some differences between your config and mine.

1- Instead of exposing the Child class I'm exposing the parent class.
I don't think that should be problem, since I tried exposing both of classes in a dummy project and that has worked.

2-I'm using maven and I have different modules. My aspect and the child class are in the same maven module, but the Parent is in another module.
The output of the parent module will be provided as a jar file to the module in which the child exists. (using dependencies in pom.xml)

As it seems "ajc" can not weave the code into the parent class since it is in another project.
If this is true, do you suggest any solution? (can I weave it into the jar file ? somehow?)


Cheers,
Sina
