Question

For example, I have a class with a public field and corresponding getter/setters:

public class User {
    public String name;
    public String getName() { return name; }
    public void setName(String name) { this.name = name;}
}

Now invoke the field name:

User user = new User();
user.name = "test";
System.out.println(user.name);

Is it able to use aspectj to enhance the class to let the bytecode be:

User user = new User();
user.setName("test");
System.out.println(user.getName());

I know javassist can do this, but can AspectJ do the same?

Check out the pointcut docs and theget(FieldPattern) and set(FieldPattern) pointcuts.

There is some additional writeup in the same doc.
