Hello,
I am currently migrating some existing code to use Generics. During
the course of the migration I ran into a problem with generics and pointcut
definition which I am unable to resolve, and any help is greatly
appreciated.
The original definition of a method that I am selecting is
BOIterator load(BusinessObjectDef boDef, String[] aIntgFieldName, String
sWhereClause, String sOrderBy, PRequestOptions opts)
throws ServerException, BusinessObjectException,
NetworkException
and the corresponding pointcut definition is
pointcut loadWhereClause(BusinessObjectDef boDef, String[] fields, String
sWhereClause, String sOrderBy, PRequestOptions options) : args(boDef,
fields, sWhereClause, sOrderBy, options) && execution (BOIterator
*Session*.load(BusinessObjectDef, String[], String, String,
PRequestOptions));
Upon migrating to generics the method signature changes to
<T extends BusinessObject> BOIterator<T> load(BusinessObjectDef boDef,
String[] aIntgFieldName, String sWhereClause, String sOrderBy,
PRequestOptions opts) throws ServerException, BusinessObjectException,
NetworkException
I noticed that eclipse complained of unchecked conversion from BOIterator<?
extends BusinessObject> to BOIterator [Xlint:uncheckedAdviceConversion]. In
an attempt to fix it I tried a few alternatives. I changed the pointcut
definition to include the generic type definitions as follows
pointcut loadWhereClause(BusinessObjectDef boDef, String[] fields, String
sWhereClause, String sOrderBy, PRequestOptions options) : args(boDef,
fields, sWhereClause, sOrderBy, options) && execution (BOIterator<? extends
BusinessObject> *Session*.load(BusinessObjectDef, String[], String, String,
PRequestOptions));
Unfortunately the advise is not being applied anymore. I have defined an
around advice as follows
BOIterator<? extends BusinessObject> around(BusinessObjectDef boDef,
String[] fields, String sWhereClause, String sOrderBy, PRequestOptions
options) : loadWhereClause(boDef, fields, sWhereClause, sOrderBy, options)
On a side note is generic support included if the above code were to be
migrated to use load time weaving i.e. how are pointcut definitions which
include generic information applied at runtime (given erasure).
Once again as I mentioned in the subject, I am a beginner to aspectj and
generics in java, and apologize for any glaring errors. Thank you for your
assistance
Thanks
Bhaskar
