| Re: [aspectj-users] Hello world Agent with aspectjweaver |
If you do not have the necessary technical knowledge about aspectj, you can say you do not know about this subject. Other than that, you can't tell me what job to do and how. I did not consult you on this matter.
I say again, if you don't know about this subject, you can just say you don't know, you won't tell me what is necessary or not. You should know your place. I can know what is good for me and what is not.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
The question I ask is, can aspectj work as an agent in an easy way?_______________________________________________Alexander Kriegisch via aspectj-users <aspectj-users@xxxxxxxxxxx>, 18 Oca 2024 Per, 07:42 tarihinde şunu yazdı:_______________________________________________Why not just
- use the aspectjweaver Java agent,
- package your timing aspect and an aop.xml config file in an aspect library and
- put the aspect library on the normal classpath?
Why write an extra agent, if AspectJ already has one that does what you need? You still did not explain anything that would require your complicated approach. Not that it would not work, if done correctly, but it seems to be totally unnecessary. Just use a regular LTW approach. No separate agent, no Maven Shade necessary.

First of all, thank you very much for your answer.
Since the coding experiments I have made are AI-guided, I cannot say that they will be consistent.
Very simply, to write a simple agent that calculates the total running time of the application I am making as an agent, from the after-before start and end time of the methods running on the JVM.
I can do it with Aspectj using AOP technique.
I want to do it for legacy applications running on JDK8.

So please, provide a full reproducer project on GitHub including the target code to be woven, so I do not have to fill in the gaps here.
What I noticed at first glance is, that class StartAgent to be and do multiple things at once:
- It is a java agent.
- It tries to inject another java agent aspectjweaver into the bootstrap classloader, which begs the question why you are not doing that from the JVM command line, if you are already using a -javaagent parameter anyway. Then the springboard agent would not even be necessary. The next question would be why you think you need it on the bootstrap classloader at all.
- It is an aspect, i.e. it is accessing classes from aspectjweaver from the system classloader already, before it even has a chance to inject the jar into the bootstrap classloader.
Your springboard agent should not directly import or reference any classes from aspectjweaver or aspectjrt before the weaver JAR has been added to the bootstrap loader. If later for any reason the springboard agent needs to kick off some action involving classes referencing weaver classes, you ought to load and start them via reflection, e.g. Class.forName etc.
It looks as if you are making a simple matter overly complicated. The justification for what you are trying to do could only be a very special use case, which you have failed to describe. So I have no way to be sure, whether there is not a simpler approach. Lacking additional evidence, I would assume there is.
BTW, are you on JDK 8 or on 9+? I am asking for a specific reason too early to discuss now.

Hello,
