MethodInvocation and logging.

[Vinay Aggarwal]

I am trying to create a wrapper for a bean that will log every time a method is called on the class. This is straight from the reference documentation. I have written an interceptor that prints the "before" and "after" log statements as in the documentation. However I have run into one problem. The class in documentation logs as follows:

System.out.println("Before: invocation=[" + invocation + "]");

I do not want to call invocatiaon.toString() but use my specific format. I want to log as <packagename>.<classname>.<methodname> ENTRY.

However to do this, I need to get hold of the target class name. But there seems to be no way to get to it. Any ideas?

Should the class have a getTarget() method in the org.springframework.aop.framework.ReflectiveMethod Invocation class?

  System.out.println(invocation.getStaticPart().toString());

returns full method signature.

But I do not want full method signature. I am looking to print somethng like this:

com.mycompany.myclass.mymethod ENTRY

is it too hard to convert

  public java.lang.String com.mycompany.myclass.mymethod(java.lang.Integer)

into

  com.mycompany.myclass.mymethod ENTRY

:wink:

I have a similar problem where my Proxies, only return the Interface name and not the class name. They were created with BeanNameAutoProxyCreator.

When i do Invocation.getMethod().getDeclaringClass().getName () I get the Interface. Same thing happens with getStaticPart() Is there a convenience method for getting the Target class?

You can use the following:

    String targetName  = invocation.getThis().getClass().getName();
