As the type name wasn't found the WildTypePattern wasn't resolved to an exact type pattern. This meant the check later thought annotation values had been specified for a wild type pattern. The solution is to remember when resolution fails and use that additional information when checking about whether the annotation values are allowed. |
The aspectj weaver issues the following error if I try to declare an annotation using a misspelled annotation: java.lang.IllegalStateException at org.aspectj.weaver.patterns.WildAnnotationTypePattern.matches(WildAnnotationTypePattern.java:206) at org.aspectj.weaver.patterns.WildAnnotationTypePattern.matches(WildAnnotationTypePattern.java:68) at org.aspectj.weaver.patterns.AnyWithAnnotationTypePattern.matchesExactly(TypePattern.java:567) at org.aspectj.weaver.patterns.TypePattern.matchesStatically(TypePattern.java:133) at org.aspectj.weaver.patterns.D ... core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55) Compile error: IllegalStateException thrown: Cannot use annotationvalues with a wild annotation pattern I know that this is not a severe error but a proper "... cannot be resolved to a type" might help other users and as I spent some time creating a minimal example to find the error I wanted to file it as a bug. A minimal example would be: public aspect MinimalExample { declare @type : @AnnotationWithParam("arg") * : @AnnotationWithParam2("gra"); // the following lines leads to a misleading compiler error declare @type : @AnnotationWithParamAndTypo("arg") * : @AnnotationWithParam2("gra"); } @interface AnnotationWithParam { String value(); } @interface AnnotationWithParam2 { String value(); }
