Re: [aspectj-users] Java 8 type annotations

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is no AspectJ support for matching on type annotations right now.

You could use a declare @type and then match on annotations:

aspect X {

        // If a member has @Anno, stick @Anno on the type
        declare @type: hasmethod(@Anno * *(..)): @Anno;

        // If the type has @anno, advise static initialization
        before(): @within(Anno) && staticinitialization(*) {
                System.out.println("Advising "+thisJoinPointStaticPart);
        }
}

This will work in this kind of setup:

new Runnable() {
                        @Anno public void run() {
                                System.out.println("xyz");
                        }
}.run();

You will need to compile with -XhasMember to allow use of the hasmethod() pointcut.

cheers,
Andy
