Logging entry/exit of methods displays Interface name NOT implementing class.

[JeanNiBee]

Hi

I'm trying this out as my FIRST Learning excercise to spring AOP so bear with me here.

I'm using Log4J / spring and trying to weave Spring aspects into the code to handle entry/exit logging of all my methods for debugging.

The Result:

INFO [http-8888-1] (AspectLogger.java:23) - [AOP] - Entering: INMDOUEngine.execute

My issue is that the AspectLogger I have coded logs the interface name (the declared type in my bean configuration file) not the concrete implementation of that interface.

I've tried looking through the JoinPoint class to see if it has methods defined to help me find what I want but so far nothing works as I would like it to.

The configurations.

 <bean id="aspectLogger" class="com.nuance.ndm.ou.util.AspectLogger" />

 <aop:config>
  <!-- The Pointcuts. -->
  <aop:pointcut id="loggingPointcut" expression="within(com.nuance.ndm.ou.engines.NTSCalllogEngine)" />
  
  <!-- The Advices. -->
  <aop:aspect id="loggingAspect" ref="aspectLogger">
   <aop:before pointcut-ref="loggingPointcut" method="logEntry" />
   <aop:after pointcut-ref="loggingPointcut" method="logExit" />
  </aop:aspect>
 </aop:config>

The AspectLogger

public class AspectLogger {
   
   private static org.apache.commons.logging.Log logger = null;
   
   /**
    * Log method entry.
    * @param joinPoint
    */
   public void logEntry( final JoinPoint joinPoint ) {
      String name = joinPoint.getSignature().getDeclaringType().getSimpleName();
      logger = org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog( name );
      if( logger.isInfoEnabled() ) logger.info( "[AOP] - Entering: " + name + "." + joinPoint.getSignature().getName() );
   }
<snipped for brevity>
}

You can print the class name by using joinPoint.getTarget().getClass().
