[aspectj-users] Generic Aspects

[Nuno Santos <developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a generic aspect which can do thing without being type dependent. 

I'm trying to do the following to start:

Test.java

public class Test {

public Test() {

}

public void sayHello() {

System.out.println("Hello world!");

}

public static void main(String args[]) {

Test t = new Test();

t.sayHello();

}

}

Replicate.aj

public abstract aspect Replicate<T> {

protected pointcut replica();

T around() : replica() {

// do something

return(proceed());

}

}

ReplicateConcrete.aj

public aspect ReplicateConcrete extends Replicate {

protected pointcut replica() : call( Test.new() );

}

But i'm having an error in the concrete. Eclipse complains in the "public aspect ReplicateConcrete extends Replicate {" line but it doesnt tell what's the problem..

Can anyone give me some tips here?

Thx,

Nuno
