AOP Alliance and AspectJ Integration

[j.p.ryan@accenture.com]

Hi,

I have some packaged code that takes a org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInvocation as an argument to a method that I want to invoke from an AspectJ joinpoint. Is there any way that I can use AspectJ and convert a org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint to a org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInvocation.

public Object checkCache(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {

// want to call method below.....
}

public final Object invoke(MethodInvocation mi) throws Throwable {

}

Spring Wiring to invoke aspect:

<aop:config>
<aop:aspect ref="methodCacheAdvice">
<aopointcut id="theExecutionOfSomeMethod"
expression="execution(public * *(..))"/>
<aop:around pointcut-ref="theExecutionOfSomeMethod" method="checkCache"/>
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>

Any help / direction appreciated.

Why make it so complex...

<aop:config>
  <aop:pointcut id="theExecutionOfSomeMethod" expression="execution(public * *(..))"/>
  <aop:advisor pointcut-ref="theExecutionOfSomeMethod" advice-ref="yourAopAllianceAdvice" />
</aop:config>

No need to convert one into the other...

And please next time use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code.

Thanks Marten worked a treat.

Guess I better re-read chapter 7 of the spring reference again!

as with Spring Java Configuration it looks like only the AspectJ style can be used, is there an equivalent for this?
I see a MethodInvocationAdapter in Spring Security which seems to do the job.
