Simple AOP Question

[pdelaney]

Hello;

I am simply trying to do some AOP on a particular object and on a particular method of that object. I can get the before() advice to work for every method on my object, but I just want to get it to work for just one execute() method. I am sure there is a way to do this but I cannot figure this out based on my spring configuration. Here is my configuration

<bean id="batchProcessMain"
class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFact oryBean">
<property name="target" ref="batchProcessMainTarget"/>
<property name="interceptorNames">
<list>
<value>batchEventTrackerInterceptor</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>


<bean id="batchProcessMainTarget"
class="com.putnam.fams.batch.BatchProcessMain">
</bean>

<bean id="batchEventTrackerInterceptor"
class="com.putnam.fams.batch.aop.BatchEventTracker Interceptor">
<property name="eventTrackerDao" ref="eventTrackerDao"/>
</bean>

Here is my Advice class
public class BatchEventTrackerInterceptor
implements MethodBeforeAdvice, AfterReturningAdvice, ThrowsAdvice {

/**
*
*/
public void before(Method arg0, Object[] arg1, Object arg2) throws Throwable {

if( "execute".equals( arg0.getName() ) ) {
log.info(" This is the execute() Method Process" );
}
}

In my BatchEventTrackerInterceptor I can determine the method easy enough, but I would like to configure this outside of my code.



Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Peter

I determined the problem. I needed to add the following to my spring config to get the execute to work;


<bean id="batchEventTrackerAdvisor"
class="org.springframework.aop.support.RegexpMetho dPointcutAdvisor">
<property name="advice">
<ref local="batchEventTrackerInterceptor"/>
</property>
<property name="pattern">
<value>execute</value>
</property>
</bean>

Use a RegExpMethodAdvisor around your advice OR use the aop config to define an AspectJ pointcut which matches your needs.
