hi,

I am trying hard to get a solution to this problem since last 4 days.. but
no luck; the issue is as below:

I have java classes of this form

public class UserAttributes implements Interceptable {
    private List<String>        alias;

    private void someMethod(){
           *alias = new ArrayList(); // point 1*
           .... etc etc
    }
}

Now the problem is :

When ever a variable is assigned to new ArrayList() i want it to be changed
to new MyArrayList() instead

i.e..: the point 1 above changes to an eqvivalent of

*alias = new MYArrayList();*

I am able to get this done

aspect abc {
    pointcut listCut(Interceptable m, IN in):target(m) &&
set(java.util.List+ *);
    after(Interceptable m, IN in):listCut(m,in){
          *UserAttributes.setAlias( new MyArrayList());*
    }
}

*but the point cut is getting very class specific. *I have abt 1000 classes
which have to be modified this way where ever the ArrayList is being used,
now with this approach i need to write 1000 files; isnt there a generic way
to do this?

Any pointers/ help ? please suggest.

regards,
ravi
