I am investigating AspectJ and its many uses and have discovered mixins.
I can find many examples employing pure AspectJ .aj aspects however I need to use only @AspectJ annotations.
What I am trying to achieve is the following:-
I have a class that I cannot amend, it has a private class variable that I need to interrogate after a particular class method has completed execution. This class does not have getter or setter methods associated with this private class variable.
public final class CannotAmend {
private Uri privateUri;
public final void methodOne(){}
public final void methodTwo(){}
public final void methodThree(){
privateUri = "something";
}
}
I require an aspect/mixin that can capture @After methodThree() and allow me to see the value set in privateUri.
Is this possible to achieve?
With @AspectJ annotations?
Where can I discover documentation/tutorial/examples of how to achieve this?
