Method Detail

getCallLocator

CodeLocator getCallLocator()

This locator contains all the points in the program that call this method.

Note that this code locator corresponds to the client-side call event (equiv. to this.getLocator(USER_SIDE). To get the server-side equivalent locator, one must write this.getBody().getLocator() or this.getLocator(PROVIDER_SIDE).

It is a very invasive feature since it designates all the calling points in all the classes of the application. To only designate the calling points in a given client method, one should write aClientMethod.getBody().getCallLocator(this).
