I'm trying to figure out a way to inject dependencies into an Aspect that is running under Wildfly 10 with CDI.
From what I can tell, by definition, I need to have a no-argument constructor in the Aspect, which already implies AJ cannot support the constructor injection pattern. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Secondly, once I have fields annotated with @Inject, I'm not sure how to tell CDI to inject beans into my aspect. If I remember correctly, in Spring, I can use the .aspectOf() as a factory-method to declare the bean to Spring. This was accomplished using XML definitions.
However, when I try to do something similar in CDI, using @Produces, it does not seem to be work; the compiler throws errors that the .aspectOf() method in my aspect does not exist.
public class UserAccountAspectFactory {
@Produces
public UserAccountStatusAspect injectUserAccountStatusAspectDependencies() throws NoSuchMethodException, InvocationTargetException, IllegalAccessException {
return UserAccountStatusAspect.aspectOf();
}
}
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project adams-aspects: Compilation failure
[ERROR] /C:/dev/Projects/develop/aspects/src/main/java/model/interceptor/UserAccountAspectFactory.java:[11,39] cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol: method aspectOf()
[ERROR] location: class model.interceptor.UserAccountStatusAspect
Which surprises me b/c when I look at the
UserAccountStatusAspect.class file, I see that ajc has added the .aspectOf() method to the compiled class.
I'm obviously doing something wrong, but not quite sure what.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks,
Eric
