[aspectj-users] Reg:AspectJ Advice specification

[Shanmuga Priya R <shanmugapriya1228@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

     Is there is a possiblity return a value in Advice-"before". If possible please help me.

My code snippet:(JAVA)

public class ServiceSelection

{

    public String invokeService(String servicetype) throws AxisFault    

    {

           if(servicetype.equals("A"))

                  return "A";

           else if(servicetype.equals("B"))

                   return "B";

           else

                  return "C";

     }

}

Aspect

pointcut beforeaspect(String servicetype):execution(* *.ServiceSelection(String)) && args(servicetype);

    beforeString servicetype():beforeaspect(servicetype)

   {

            return "A";

    }

Based on the return value of aspect the if-else comparison needs to be execute. Is it possible in aspectj..

That is before the exe of ServiceSelection() aspect needs to wriiteen a value.. Based on that value ServiceSelection() ll be execute.

Thanks,
