I can accomplish the above by doing an : | ctMethod.insertAfter("System.out.println(\"After Foo\"", true). | and then an: ctMethod.insertBefore("System.out.println(\"Before Foo\""); However I cannot seem to access a local variable in the finally for example: | long start = System.currrentTimeMillis(); | System.out.println("Before Foo"); | try { | System.out.println("Foo"); | } finally { | long end = System.currentTimeMillis(); | System.out.println("Foo too:" + (end - start)); | } | The problem is when I am altering the method for the finally, I cannot access the start variable I introduced. Any tips would be welcomed. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4176376#...
