>From what I can see in sample code: public class Point{}
public aspect Point { // a new method is introduced into the Point Class. public String Point.toLongString(){ return "### FROM ASPECT ###"; } } public class Main{ public static void main(String[] args){ Point p1 = new Point(); // This line below works without any error. System.out.println("p1.toLongString =" +p1.toLongString()); System.out.println("p1 =" + p1); } } --------------------------------------------------------------- However, when I tried this, it does not work // Extends the String class and provide other useful public privileged aspect StringUtils { public String java.lang.String.ltrim(){ return "TEST LTRIM"; } public String java.lang.String.rtrim(){ return "TEST RTRIM"; } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { String string="ABCDEFG"; // Complians with the error shown below string=string.ltrim(); System.out.println(string); } } --------------------------------------------------------- Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.String.ltrim()Ljava/lang/String; at stringext.StringUtils.ajc$interMethodDispatch1$stringext_StringUtils$java_lang_String$ltrim(StringUtils.aj) at stringext.Main.main(Main.java:11) ---------------------------------------------------------- Please help to show how this can be done properly.
