Re: [aspectj-users] using static fields in an advice

[Alexander Kriegisch <Alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As Matthew said, you could use reflection, but the factory method Logger.getLogger is probably faster and will return the very same Logger instance as the one stored in your static field.

As for the AspectJ runtime, you need it at runtime, thus the name.

all I would like to know if it is possible to user a calls field (static field in an advice and how does it look like.

Could be that I did not understand something. But I thought when using AspectJ to compile time the enriched program could be run without aspectj-library under certain circumstances.

But this is just another addon-question. Using a static field in an advice could be worthy in also not logging-circumstances, couldn’t it?
