Since the constructor has a special name (<init>) you can know that you are dealing with a constructor. If so, scan the whole method for a call to the superclass constructor (INVOKESPECIAL to a method called <init>). If you don't find it (it seems legal according to http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/Concepts.doc.html#16411 ) then you can put your instrumenting call at the start, otherwise you put the call after the INVOKESPECIAL call. I haven't tried it, so I'd be interested in whether it works. I'm going to be needing it realy soon for my own project. -- Erik Corry I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a [EMAIL PROTECTED] bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners. - B.
