how to avoid specific classes in beanNames

[muthiahmerchant]

I have an interceptor and I want to apply it to all beans except a certain class. How do i achieve this.

for all beans i use this
<property name="beanNames"><value>*</value></property>

for selected classes I use this
<property name="beanNames"><value>*Controller,Hib*,*Intf</value></property>

but now sure how to define one for all classes except say (*Intf)

Thanks in advance.

I don't think you have a way to exclude a certain pattern from matching.
I'd take a look at the source code for the proxy creator class you are using and extend it in a way to add something like: excludedNames property.

Another solution would be to use an AspectJ pointcut: execution(* my.package.*(..) && !execution(* not.interceptable.package.*(..))

Thanks for your response. I will take a look at the options.

You could also introduce an annotation that will tag the method/class as excludable from your specific pointcut definition.
