Re: [aspectj-users] Method call in super class within an around advice 
Hi Eric/Holger,

I would say that it does make sense to have possibility to call super method in an advice without being obliged defining ITD as you described. 

I wonder if there's any reason not to have this.

Cheers,
Anwar .

Suppose you have:

class A { void foo () { ... } }
class B { void foo () { ... } }

then you can have an ITD that adds:

B.super_foo() { super.foo(); }

and then in the advice

around(B b) : ... {
 ...
 b.super_foo();
 ...
}

(obviously this is all pseudo/not-tested code, but it should be enough for you to get the idea)

hope this helps,

Hi Éric,

thank you for your hint! Could you make an example of what you mean. I do understand what Inter-type declarations (ITD) are. But how to call the super method.

Could you offer an example?

Hi Holger,

I think you can't call super directly this way. The only alternative I can
think of is to introduce (with an ITD) a method that does the super call,
and call that method from the advice.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I'm new to AspectJ - so I hope this is not a silly question!

The original question is: is there a way to call methods in
super-classes within an "around"-advice? If yes, how? ;)

I created a named PointCut using a certain parameter list to make them
available in the advice context later:

pointcut logAbstractGenerationContext(String type, String name, Map
params, AbstractGenerationContext abstractGenCtx) :
             execution(public Printable
de.subpackage.subpackage.generate.AbstractGenerationContext+.getTemplate(String, String, Map) throws
IOException) &&
             args(type, name, params) && this(abstractGenCtx);


The advice is defined as follows:

Printable around(String type, String name, Map params,
AbstractGenerationContext abstractGenCtx) throws IOException :
logAbstractGenerationContext(type, name, params, abstractGenCtx) {
 ...        
 if(type == null)
     return super.getTemplate(null, name, params);
 ...
}

But the parser always marks the "super" variable. I already tried some
flavors - but still no success.

Hint: the aspect has been declared "privileged" to allow access on
private or protected variables of the provided "AbstractGenerationContext"
instance.

Maybe, you can help me to solve that (easy) problem?
