[aspectj-users] [Feature Request] being able to capture package, class o

["Evermind"<evermind@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

    I was writing an aspect that intercepts apache commons log calls and call corresponding method of my own logger instead. To achieve this, I found it inconvenient to pointcut call of methods with same parameter but different name. Shown as below:

   

    pointcut logging_info(Object message):
        call(void org.apache.commons.logging.Log.info(Object)) && args(message);
        
    pointcut logging_warn(Object message):
        call(void org.apache.commons.logging.Log.warn(Object)) && args(message);

    void around(Object message) : logging_info(message) {
        mylog.log("info", message);
    }

 

    void around(Object message) : logging_warn(message) {
        mylog.log("warn", message);
    }

 

    As you can see, mylog can use method name of the one intercepted by pointcut as its argument and do right things. However AFAIK currently pointcut cannot bind method name to variables. So i think if we can achieve this(including package/class/method name pattern), our capabilities will be expanded.

 

    PS: sorry for the incomplete mail a while ago, it's a fat-finger mistake.
