AOP Logging on Ejb class

[dan_pretty_boy]

Hi Folks,

I am able to get AOP working for my business layer but I need to get it working for my Ejbs. I have an ejb that implments a business interface , and the ejb delegates work off to the business layer. What I need is logging on the actual ejb bean? Because ejbs dont have a bean id how do I get them logged.? Ie. I want to see in my logging ejbcreate ejbremove plus my business methods etc..

Example
<bean id="proxyCreator"
class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy .BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
<property name="beanNames">
<list>
<value>*ManagerImpl</value> <!-- How do I reference a EJB -->
</list>
</property>
<property name="interceptorNames">
<list>
<value>loggingInterceptor</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>


Any ideas?

Thanks
Danny

Since Spring AOP only works on services that it manages, you would need to resort to AspectJ or similar lower level AOP to add logging like that.

I think you could do it....you would end up proxying the proxy created by the proxyfactorybean

<bean id="yourManagerImpl" class="org.springframework.ejb.access.LocalStatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean">
   .....
</bean>

<bean id="proxyCreator" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
  <property name="beanNames">
    <list>
      <value>*ManagerImpl</value> <!-- How do I reference a EJB -->
    </list>
  </property>
  <property name="interceptorNames">
    <list>
      <value>loggingInterceptor</value>
    </list>
  </property>
</bean>
