It isn't directly on either of those, but they are accessible if you of course. I presume you are doing something like this: for a Field joinpoint: ((FieldSignature)thisJoinPoint.getSignature()).getField().getAnnotations() similar thing for methods. It could be exposed directly on JoinPoint I suppose but it'd just be a cache of the call I showed above - there isn't any magic in how AspectJ could do it in a more optimal way. Annotations can't be 'new'd up directly, they tend to have to be fetched from somewhere. > Does it mean that accessing > annotations through the reflection is so cheap that it is OK to do so in > aspect advices? No, reflection isn't cheap. So you should cache the results if you are going to keep asking the question. I could cache them in the joinpoint object, please raise an enhancement request if you want this but without a few votes it won't be top of the list I'm afraid. cheers Andy _______________________________________________ aspectj-users mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/aspectj-users
