In the 4.2 testsuite I had a jboss-aop.xml that included prepare expressions and SubjectImpl mixin introductions with pointcuts for both @org.jboss.cache.aop.AopMarker (the marker interface) and @org.jboss.cache.aop.annotation.PojoCacheable annotations. Different test classes used each approach. For the classes that used the marker interfaces, I first used annotationc. Then aopc was run against all the classes. This all worked fine until I found that the AS build had both flavors of jboss-cache.jar on the classpath. When I fixed that, then annotationc failed because the marker interfaces weren't on the classpath anymore. But when all the classes were there, it all worked fine. > If you have some suggestions for aopc, please send them my way :-) > I've been thinking of tidying it up before we get AOP 2.0.0.GA out > Sure; will do. Sorry for the rant. The missing classes thing pissed me off and aopc got some spillover venom. - Brian >> -----Original Message----- >> From: jbosscache-dev-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org >> [mailto:jbosscache-dev-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Brian >> Stansberry Sent: 02 February 2007 20:24 >> To: jbosscache-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> Subject: [jbosscache-dev] PojoCache annotations and marker >> interfaces >> >> I see that in 1.4.x, we have this lovely situation: >> >> jboss-cache.jar includes the o.j.c.aop.(InstanceOf)AopMarker marker >> interfaces. jboss-cache-jdk5.jar also includes the >> o.j.c.aop.annotation.(InstanceOf)AopMarker annotations, but does not >> include the marker interfaces. >> >> Thus, in AS 4.2, if I want to support both annotation styles for >> FIELD granularity replication, there is no JBC jar that I can >> integrate to allow it.
