[ajug-members] AspectJ question

[Brian Lee]

Hello all,

I am looking at using AspectJ for my Java 1.4 project. I was going through 
the online docs and googled around, but couldn't find any examples of an 
aspect class that is able to capture performance times for method calls.

I would like to add a performance aspect to a set of methods so that I 
output a log statement with the total time spent before and after the method 
is executed.

I saw a lot of examples of before and after join points, but not one that 
could introduce a local long variable to store the currentTimeMillis before 
and after the method executes.

Has anyone else used aspects for this kind of performance logging? Any help 
is appreciated.

Thanks,
BAL
