AspectJ 5 provides a full set of reflection APIs analogous to the
java.lang.reflect
package, but fully aware of the
AspectJ type system. See the javadoc for the runtime and tools APIs
for the full details. The reflection APIs are only supported when
running under Java 5 and for code compiled by the AspectJ 5 compiler
at target level 1.5.
The starting point for using the reflection apis is
org.aspectj.lang.reflect.AjTypeSystem
which
provides the method getAjType(Class)
which will
return the AjType
corresponding to a given
Java class. The AjType
interface corresponds to
java.lang.Class
and gives you access to all of the
method, field, constructor, and also pointcut, advice, declare
statement and inter-type declaration members in the type.
