how do I use the aop:advisor to for the before advice type

[garyng]

Hi,

All the examples and code I saw would trigger the invoke() method of the class. I failed to find any example of invoking the before() method.

Implement the MethodBeforeAdvice interface and it will do that automatically.

However with a MethodInterceptor you can achieve the same results. Simple execute your additional stuff before calling the method.proceed().

You can also refer to Mark Fisher’s Blog which shows a nice example for logging using aop:aspect style before advice.
