Method Detail

getAjType

public static <T> AjType<T> getAjType(Class<T> fromClass)

Return the AspectJ runtime type representation of the given Java type. Unlike java.lang.Class, AjType understands pointcuts, advice, declare statements, and other AspectJ type members. AjType is the recommended reflection API for AspectJ programs as it offers everything that java.lang.reflect does, with AspectJ-awareness on top.

Type Parameters:

T - the expected type associated with the returned AjType

Parameters:

fromClass - the class for which to discover the AjType

Returns:

the AjType corresponding to the input class
