Java method call parser?
I need to resolve some method calls, including the entire signature in some Java classes, for example:
public class MyClass {
    public void myMthod() {
        // ... some code here
        result = someInstance.someOtherMethod(param1,param2);
        // ... some other code here
    }
}
As a result, I want something similar:
serviceName = someInstance
methodName = someOtherMethod
arguments = {
   argument = java.lang.String,argument = boolean
}
result = java.lang.Long
What is the quickest way to achieve this goal? I'm thinking about using regex parser The problem is that there are several modes of occurrence, such as
a)
result = someInstance.someOtherMethod(getSomething(),param);
b)
result = 
    getSomeInstance().someOtherMethod(param);
c)
result = getSomeInstance()
            .someOtherMethod(
                    getSomethingElse(),null,param);
Any help will be appreciated! thank you!
Solution
Do not use regular expressions! Use tools to understand java
use:
>Source code parser (such as javaparser) > bytecode analysis (such as ASM) > one aspect (AspectJ)
In the source parser and ASM, you will write a visitor to scan method calls
For javaparser: read this page, extend the voidvisitoradapter and overwrite it
public void visit(MethodCallExpr n,A arg)
Example code:
public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception{
    parseCompilationUnit(new File("src/main/java/foo/bar/Phleem.java"));
}
public static void parseCompilationUnit(final File sourceFile)
    throws ParseException,IOException{
    final CompilationUnit cu = JavaParser.parse(sourceFile);
    cu.accept(new VoidVisitorAdapter<Void>(){
        @Override
        public void visit(final MethodCallExpr n,final Void arg){
            System.out.println(n);
            super.visit(n,arg);
        }
    },null);
}
The problem here is that you only have the object name, not the object type, so you must also keep a local variable / field map to type, which is where things get messy After all, ASM may be an easier choice
For ASM: read this tutorial page to get started
