I'm trying to patch over a bug in XMLBeans ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-328 ) using pointcuts. I've been struggling over the past couple of days to try to get aopc working on my class, even building a stub class that models the class structure of the class I'm trying to advise, which worked fine, but I still get a "no comp needed" when trying to aopc org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Xobj.
Today I set some breakpoints and discovered that it is being rejected because of the package name of the class :
(from AspectManager.class)
public boolean isNonAdvisableClassName(String classname)
{
if (ignoreClass(classname)) return true;
if (includeClass(classname)) return false;
if (excludeClass(classname)) return true;
return (classname.startsWith("org.jboss.aop.") ||
classname.endsWith("$aop") ||
classname.startsWith("javassist") ||
classname.startsWith("org.jboss.util.") ||
classname.startsWith("gnu.trove.") ||
classname.startsWith("EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent.") ||
classname.contains('.' + JoinPointGenerator.JOINPOINT_CLASS_PREFIX) ||
// System classes
classname.startsWith("org.apache.tools.ant") ||
classname.startsWith("org.apache.crimson") ||
classname.startsWith("org.apache.xalan") ||
classname.startsWith("org.apache.xml") ||
....
Everything starting with org.apache.xml seems to be filtered out - which org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store would fall under. Is there a reason why "org.apache.xmlbeans" should be blocked, and not just "org.apache.xml."? Is there a way I can short circuit this by getting includeClass(classname) to return true? I'm calling aopc through the ant task :
<aopc compilerclasspathref="build.classpath" verbose="true">
<classpath path="${aopc.xbean.classes.dir}"/>
<src path="${aopc.xbean.classes.dir}"/>
<include name="Foo.class"/>
<include name="org/apache/xmlbeans/impl/store/Xobj$SoapBodyXobj.class"/>
<include name="org/apache/xmlbeans/impl/store/Xobj.class"/>
<aoppath path="${aop.resources.dir}/META-INF/jboss-aop.xml"/>
<aopclasspath path="${aop.classes.dir}"/>
</aopc>
