Interface StandardPointcutExpression

All Known Implementing Classes:
StandardPointcutExpressionImpl
public interface StandardPointcutExpression
Represents an AspectJ pointcut expression and provides convenience methods to determine whether or not the pointcut matches join points specified in terms of the java.lang.reflect interfaces.

  • Method Details

    • setMatchingContext

      void setMatchingContext​(MatchingContext aMatchContext)
      Set the matching context to be used for subsequent calls to match.

      MatchingContext

    • couldMatchJoinPointsInType

      boolean couldMatchJoinPointsInType​(Class aClass)
      Determine whether or not this pointcut could ever match a join point in the given class.
      Parameters:
      aClass - the candidate class
      Returns:
      true iff this pointcut may match a join point within(aClass), and false otherwise

    • mayNeedDynamicTest

      boolean mayNeedDynamicTest()
      Returns true iff this pointcut contains any expression that might necessitate a dynamic test at some join point (e.g. args)

    • matchesMethodExecution

      ShadowMatch matchesMethodExecution​(ResolvedMember aMethod)
      Determine whether or not this pointcut matches the execution of a given method.
      Parameters:
      aMethod - the method being executed
      Returns:
      a ShadowMatch indicating whether the pointcut always, sometimes, or never matches join points representing the execution of the method.

    • matchesStaticInitialization

      ShadowMatch matchesStaticInitialization​(ResolvedType aType)
      Determine whether or not this pointcut matches the static initialization of the given class.
      Parameters:
      aType - the class being statically initialized
      Returns:
      a ShadowMatch indicating whether the pointcut always, sometimes, or never matchs join points representing the static initialization of the given type

    • matchesMethodCall

      ShadowMatch matchesMethodCall​(ResolvedMember aMethod, ResolvedMember withinCode)
      Determine whether or not this pointcut matches a method call to the given method, made during the execution of the given method or constructor.
      Parameters:
      aMethod - the method being called
      withinCode - the Method or Constructor from within which the call is made
      Returns:
      a ShadowMatch indicating whether the pointcut always, sometimes, or never matches join points representing a call to this method during the execution of the given member.

    • getPointcutExpression

      String getPointcutExpression()
      Return a string representation of this pointcut expression.
