When using FFDCSupport aspect you can control the data gathered. Two template
methods getSourceId and getProbeId are provided to you for this purpose. For
example, you may want to limit the length of the source ID strings. In Figure 7,
aspect Example_7 illustrates how to override the getSourceId method and return a
short name.
import com.ibm.websphere.ffdc.FFDCSupport;
import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;
public aspect Example_7 extends FFDCSupport {
protected pointcut ffdcScope () :
within(com.foo.*);
protected String getSourceId (JoinPoint.StaticPart ejp) {
String name = ejp.getSignature().getName();
return name;
}
}

You can use FFDC to control how your classes are introspected by implementing
the introspectSelf method. Class Person in Figure 8 illustrates how you can hide
a sensitive field (in this example a password is hidden).
private class Person {
private String userid = "USER";
private String password = "PASSW0RD";
public String[] introspectSelf () {
String[] self = { "userid=" + userid, "password=XXXXXXXX" };
return self;
}
}
Hide password field of Person class from introspection.
