Accessing Target Object From Proxy

[cameronjones]

hi ng,

could someone give me some hints on how to configure a proxy so that i can access the target object? eg:

Cast cast = (Cast) proxy;
Target = (Target) cast.getTargetObject();

thanks,
cam

ok, but how can i access this from the proxy?

here was what i was thinking. I was going to add an introduction advice to the proxy:

public interface IProxy {

    public Object getProxiedObject();

}

but how can i gain access to the proxied object from the mixin?

public class ProxyInterceptor extends DelegatingIntroductionInterceptor implements IProxy {

    public ProxyInterceptor() {
        super();
    }

    public Object getProxiedObject() {
       // how can i return the proxied object here?
    }

}

public class ProxyAdvisor extends DefaultIntroductionAdvisor {

    public ProxyAdvisor() {
        super(new ProxyInterceptor(), IProxy.class);
    }
    
}

thanks,
cam

If you want to get the target from the proxy, you do:

Advised advised = (Advised) proxy;
Target target = proxy.getTargetSource().getTarget();

If you want to get the proxy from the target or advice, you set exposeProxy to true in the ProxyFactoryBean, and from your target or advice, you call

AopContext.currentProxy();
