Spring 2.5 Aspect Oriented Programming

Overview of this book

Developing powerful web applications with clean, manageable code makes the maintenance process much easier. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is the easiest and quickest way to achieve such results. Spring is the only Java framework to offer AOP features. The combined power of Spring and AOP gives a powerful and flexible platform to develop and maintain feature-rich web applications quickly. This book will help you to write clean, manageable code for your Java applications quickly, utilizing the combined power of Spring and AOP. You will master the concepts of AOP by developing several real-life AOP-based applications with the Spring Framework, implementing the basic components of Spring AOP: Advice, Joinpoint, Pointcut, and Advisor. This book will teach you everything you need to know to use AOP with Spring. It starts by explaining the AOP features of Spring and then moves ahead with configuring Spring AOP and using its core classes, with lot of examples. It moves on to explain the AspectJ support in Spring. Then you will develop a three-layered example web application designed with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and built with Test-Driven Development methodology using the full potential of AOP for security, concurrency, caching, and transactions.

JDK proxy


To realize a dynamic proxy with JDK, we need to implement the interface that manages invocations.

package java.lang.reflect;
public interface InvocationHandler {
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args)
throws Throwable;
}

The method to implement receives the proxy object, the invoked method, and the input parameters of the target method. An implementation would be made like this:

package org.springaop.chapter.three.handler;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.Proxy;
public class FooInvocationHandler implements InvocationHandler {
public FooInvocationHandler(Object target) {
this.target = target;
}
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args)
throws Throwable {
System.out.println("remove before fly :-)");
Object result = method.invoke(target, args);
System.out.println(result+", mmh it's not rocket science ");
return result;
}
public static Object createProxy(Object target...
