[aspectj-users] LTW and perthis/pertarget question...

[Paul Freeman <PaulFreeman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi -

I have a question regarding the use of perthis and/or pertarget with the 
LTW and I was hoping someone might be able to help.  I have an Aspect 
declared with perthis(<pointcut>).  When I weave the aspect during 
compile time and run my program, the advice in this aspect is executed 
properly.  When I compile my aspects and classes using javac and then 
use the LTW to weave my aspects at runtime, the advice in the aspect 
declared with perthis no longer executes properly.  The LTW emits info 
messages stating that the advice was actually woven into the classes as 
expected, but the advice never executes. If I remove the perthis 
declaration and weave at runtime with the LTW, the advice will execute. 
 Is this a bug?

There is one difference in the output from the LTW, the 'weaveinfo'
statements for the advice that does not execute have the words [with 
runtime test] at the end of the line when using perthis, and do not have 
that statement when perthis is excluded.

Any help or advice that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. 
The weaveinfo output I am receiving for the two scenarios is appended to 
the end of the message.

Thanks,
Paul
