[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-470?page=comments#action_12379573 ] Flavia Rainone commented on JBAOP-470: -------------------------------------- Consider the typedef expression: <typedef name="TD" expr="(class(POJO.field)" /> Where POJO class follows: public class POJO { public POJO2 field; } I can think of the following approache to identify the matching objects: - add a field "Collection<ClassName> isInside<ClassName>_<fieldName>" on the class that is the type of the field <ClassName>.<fieldName> especfied on the pointcut expression. This field would track whether an object is the value <ClassName>.<fieldName> for one or more instances of ClassName. The goal is to identify positively only when isInside<ClassName>_<fieldName>.size() is larger then 0. Probably there are other solutions beside this one. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
