Re: Match all method calls with a specific parameter type at any position

I tried combining such pointcuts with || .
But now I am getting an "ambiguous binding of parameter(s) conn across '||' in pointcut" error when I try to advice the composed pointcut with an around advice.
Is there any work around to this error?

If you want to use args directly for binding, the normal (not all that
pretty) solution right now is:

pointcut havingAConnectionParameter1(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(conn,..);
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter2(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter3(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter4(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter5(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,*,conn,.. );
pointcut havingAConnectionParameter6(Connection conn): call(* *(..))
&& args(*,*,*,*,conn,.. );

obviously you need as many variants as the max number of arguments,
but more than 6/7 arguments then I think the code you are advising has
other problems ;)

there are open enhancement requests relating to this.

The second one is interesting as it discusses a lot of possible syntaxes.

cheers,

Hi,
Is there a way to declare a pointcut that matches all method calls whose any
parameter is of specific type (say java.sql.Connection).

I see that following will match methods whose last (or only) parameter is of
type Connection.

pointcut havingAConnectionParameter(Connection conn): call(* *(..)) &&
args(..,conn );

And following will match methods whose first (or only) parameter is of type
Connection.

pointcut havingAConnectionParameter(Connection conn): call(* *(..)) &&
args(conn, .. );

But how can I match when I don't know the exact position or even number of
parameters in advance?
