Hi -
I've got a bunch of generated classes across multiple jars that I cannot
change the source on, nor can I change how they are generated. These
generated classes all implement interface "A"
I'd like to add another interface to all these generated classes to make
use of a handful of other methods they all already implement. Essentially
I'd like to simply add in another "implements B" to their definitions at
compile time. I've defined "B" interface and my aspect looks like this:
public aspect ImplementBInterfaceAspect {
declare parents : A+ implements B;
}
Does that look correct? I wrote some code that I thought would correctly
prove the new "implements B" was being weaved in correctly. That code
looks like:
// C implements A by source code definition, and should have be known to
"implements B" due to weaving of the aspect defined above
C cInstance = new C();
// B is an interface, cInstance should be known to implements B if weaving
is taking place
B refToCInstance = cInstance;
The code above doesn't compile. Complaining that cInstance cannot be
assigned to refToCInstance. I'm now realizing that weaving must not happen
until after all existing code is already compiled?? Sorry for my
beginner's understanding of AspectJ. What would be a better test to
validate that my desired weaving is happening?
Thank you any clarity you can provide.
Jason
