[aspectj-users] Need some emergency Help with AspectJ PLEASE !!!

["muneer yakub" <muneer000@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am working with three projects:

1. Client (package structure : com.claims.client...)
2. Shared (package structure : com.claims.shared...)
3. Server (package structure : com.claims.server...)

The Client project has references to Shared and Server. I mean the Java 
classes in client refer to the Java classes in Shared and Server. Now I have 
an aspect called 'MyAspect' sitting in the Client project. This is what I am 
trying to do with my aspect.
I am trying to monitor all the java classes that are being called when I run 
the system and I am writing the sequence of execution to a text file. So I 
can use it later to generate a sequence diagram. So I have defined my Join 
Point definition as follows:

pointcut allMethodsCut() : execution(* (com.claims.+).* (..));

Now I have this aspect sitting in my client project. When I am compiling 
using the aspectJ compilier it applies the aspect only to the classes within 
the Client project ('cuz the aspect is sitting in the client project). 
Because of this it is only monitoring the classes within client project. I 
also checked the modifications it does to the byte code. It is only 
modifying the classes in the client project.

My question to you guys is : How can I apply the aspect 'MyAspect' to all 
the project so whenever any of the classes in any of the projects get called 
my aspect would know. Do I place the same aspect in all the three projects 
and compile them ? I tried doing that and it errors out b'cuz I have the 
aspect with the same name sitting in all the projects. Try using different 
names ? I tried that too, the problem is I want to get the sequence of 
execution in one text file. When I have three aspects with different names 
then they will be writing to a different text file and I can't really merge 
them properly b'cuz my projects are so big that I am better off without an 
aspect. How can I use one aspect for all the three projects ?

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME !!
ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME!!

thanks a bunch,
Mack
