Description

Interface Summary

Advisor	Base interface holding AOP advice (action to take at a joinpoint) and a filter determining the applicability of the advice (such as a pointcut).
AfterReturningAdvice	After returning advice is invoked only on normal method return, not if an exception is thrown.
BeforeAdvice	Superinterface for all before advice.
ClassFilter	Filter that restricts matching of a pointcut or introduction to a given set of target classes.
DynamicIntroductionAdvice	Subinterface of AOP Alliance Advice that allows additional interfaces to be implemented by an Advice, and available via a proxy using that interceptor.
IntroductionAdvisor	Superinterface for advisors that perform one or more AOP introductions.
IntroductionInfo	Interface supplying the information necessary to describe an introduction.
IntroductionInterceptor	Subinterface of AOP Alliance MethodInterceptor that allows additional interfaces to be implemented by the interceptor, and available via a proxy using that interceptor.
MethodBeforeAdvice	Advice invoked before a method is invoked.
MethodMatcher	Part of a Pointcut: Checks whether the target method is eligible for advice.
Pointcut	Core Spring pointcut abstraction.
PointcutAdvisor	Superinterface for all Advisors that are driven by a pointcut.
ProxyMethodInvocation	Extension of the AOP Alliance MethodInvocation interface, allowing to access the proxy that the method invocation was made through.
TargetSource	A TargetSource is used to obtain the current "target" of an AOP invocation, which will be invoked via reflection if no around advice chooses to end the interceptor chain itself.
ThrowsAdvice	Tag interface for throws advice.

Class Summary

TrueClassFilter	Canonical ClassFilter instance that matches all classes.
TrueMethodMatcher	Canonical MethodMatcher instance that matches all methods.
TruePointcut	Canonical Pointcut instance that always matches.

Package org.springframework.aop Description

Core Spring AOP interfaces, built on AOP Alliance AOP interoperability interfaces.
Any AOP Alliance MethodInterceptor is usable in Spring.
Spring AOP also offers:

• Introduction support
• A Pointcut abstraction, supporting "static" pointcuts (class and method-based) and "dynamic" pointcuts (also considering method arguments). There are currently no AOP Alliance interfaces for pointcuts.
• A full range of advice types, including around, before, after returning and throws advice.
• Extensibility allowing arbitrary custom advice types to be plugged in without modifying the core framework.

Spring AOP can be used programmatically or (preferably) integrated with the Spring IoC container.
