I'm trying to load classes at runtime and weave them with some AspectJ aspects at this point. I have load-time weaving enabled, and it works when I use it more conventionally.
I have the following in my @Aspect class:
@Before("call(* mypackage.MyInterface.*())") public void myInterfaceExecuteCall(JoinPoint thisJoinPoint, JoinPoint.StaticPart thisJoinPointStaticPart, JoinPoint.EnclosingStaticPart thisEnclosingJoinPointStaticPart) { System.out.println(thisJoinPoint.getSignature().getDeclaringType()); System.out.println(thisJoinPoint.getSignature().getName()); } Then I'm scanning the jars and finding classes that are implementations of MyInterface:
URLClassLoader classLoader = new URLClassLoader(new URL[] { urlOfJar }, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()); WeavingURLClassLoader weaver = new WeavingURLClassLoader( classLoader); HashSet<Class<?>> executableClasses = new HashSet<Class<?>>(); for (String name : classNamesInJar) { try { Class<?> myImplementation = weaver.loadClass(name); if (MyInterface.class.isAssignableFrom(myImplementation)) { executableClasses.add(myImplementation); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (NoClassDefFoundError e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } ... and then I'm executing a specific method in the loaded classes at some point:
try { Method execute = myImplementation.getMethod("execute"); execute.invoke(myImplementation.newInstance()); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } However, the @Before method that I gave you above is never executed when I call execute.invoke(...) (although the execute method itself is obviously executed, since I see its output).
Does someone know what I'm doing wrong? What's the way to make myInterfaceExecuteCall get called before the loaded class's methods get called?
