aop.xml (aspectwerkz)

[javierc]

is there any document that describe exactly the information of this file?

i want to declare an aspect that works for classes in an specific package (and sub-packages) and in the default package (no-package).

The first is easy:
expression=" within(mypackage..) and call (_____"

but, how can i do it for any class with no package ? (and i dont know the names of the classes)

(that is becouse i want that to catch all calls from jsp to a certain method, and the webserver compiles it with no package)


is there any way to negate the expresion "within" ?
I mean somethig like:
( whitin(myYesPackage..) and not within(myNoPackage..) ) and call(





thanks

javi.

If this regards a specific method, why not using execution() instead of within() in poincut definition? Anyway, you can compose poincuts using the standard ||(or or), &&(or and) and !(to negate). Just take a look at this.

if i use "execution", callee and caller are the same...

my problem:

if i call A.x() from a jsp, i want to execute f(A.x()),
but if not, i want to execute A.x()

<pointcut name="getStringFromView" expression=" within(mycomponents..) and hasmethod(void _jspService(..)) and call(java.lang.String com.myapp.util.view.View+.get*())" />

Is there anything to configure aspectwerkz, for not to waste time inspecting packages that i dont want to transform?
My server takes a lot (8 minutes using execution, 4 using call) to be ready.

Maybe I don't fully get what you really want to do, but shouldn't

execution(signature_of_method_you_want_to_get_advised) && !within(package(s)_you_want_to_exclude)

do?
