Pointcut scoped variables
Is there a way to have "point-cut joinpoint scoped" variables shared across @Before advices and @After advices (for the same joinpoint instance)?
Consider the following simple example, just to illustrate the case. Imagine it is running in a multi-threading application:
public void doTask(TheTask task)
{
//these two lines should be in a separate aspect @Before the pointcut for this method
String oldname = Thread.currentThread().getName();
Thread.currentThread().setName(task.getName());
try
{
//do the actual task
task.execute();
}
finally
{
//the following should be in a separate aspect @After the pointcut for this method
Thread.currentThread().setName(oldname);
}
}
How do I carry the oldname variable for the same joinpoint, from one advice to another (in the same pointcut scope), if at all possible?
Thanks.
