Hi there.
New to AspectJ I did some basic examples and now I want to use it to solve
real problems ;)
For my current work I planned to tag some methods with annotations to
provide security checks without implementing those several times. Is this
a good practice at all?
First tests work so far, but I'd like to use the information in my
annotation for the advice. Example:
@Guarded("AdminsOnly")
public void whatever() {}
I can match this join point using call(@Guarded * *(..)), but I see no way
to access the string value (or other values) later.
before() : call(@Guarded * *(..)) {
// I want to access the annotation here..
}
Using Google I always end up with the annotation-based way of using
AspectJ, the only usable info was http://ramnivas.com/blog/index.php?p=10
- but that's only a proposal and over a year old.
Can anyone lend me a helping hand here and tell me if it's a)
viable/okay/good practice to do what I plan to do here and b) how one is
supposed to access annotations of thisJoinPoint?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Hi Ben,
The best place to look for things like this is the developer's notebook,
such as:
http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/next/adk15notebook/annotation s-pointcuts-and-advice.html
Look for the context exposure subsection - near the end of that is a
snippet that uses thisJoinPointStaticPart.getSignature() to get the
corresponding
java.lang.reflect.Method object, then you can call
getAnnotation/getAnnotations on that.
BTW, the aspectj-users list is best for language questions. This newsgroup
is primarily for AJDT-specific stuff. We do try to monitor both, but the
mailing list has a bigger audience so you might get a faster/better
response.
Regards,
Matt.
