Modifiy only certain controller methods

[tbender]

HI,

I would like to modify only one or two methods of my controller, which are currently defined in the roo-generated ITD. I do not want roo to overwrite my changes. Is there a way to do this?

Can I just move the method I want to change from the ITD to the Controller-Class and do my customizations there?

Short answer: yes.

Medium answer: Roo will not introduce anything via an ITD if that element already exists in your Java code.

Longer answer: in some cases (not sure which, but toString() is one of them), you can have both your own method and the generated method (with a different name of course); see the AspectJ section of the manual.
