Class CustomizableTraceInterceptor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.aop.interceptor.AbstractTraceInterceptor
      org.springframework.aop.interceptor.CustomizableTraceInterceptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Advice, Interceptor, MethodInterceptor

public class CustomizableTraceInterceptor
extends AbstractTraceInterceptor

MethodInterceptor implementation that allows for highly customizable method-level tracing, using placeholders.

Trace messages are written on method entry, and if the method invocation succeeds on method exit. If an invocation results in an exception, then an exception message is written. The contents of these trace messages is fully customizable and special placeholders are available to allow you to include runtime information in your log messages. The placeholders available are:

• $[methodName] - replaced with the name of the method being invoked
• $[targetClassName] - replaced with the name of the class that is the target of the invocation
• $[targetClassShortName] - replaced with the short name of the class that is the target of the invocation
• $[returnValue] - replaced with the value returned by the invocation
• $[argumentTypes] - replaced with a comma-separated list of the short class names of the method arguments
• $[arguments] - replaced with a comma-separated list of the String representation of the method arguments
• $[exception] - replaced with the String representation of any Throwable raised during the invocation
• $[invocationTime] - replaced with the time, in milliseconds, taken by the method invocation

There are restrictions on which placeholders can be used in which messages: see the individual message properties for details on the valid placeholders.

NOTE: This class requires JDK 1.4 or later. It uses the java.util.regex package for regular expression matching, which is only available on JDK 1.4+.

Since:

1.2

Method Detail

setEnterMessage

public void setEnterMessage(String enterMessage)
                     throws IllegalArgumentException

Ses the template used for method entry log messages. This template can contain any of the following placeholders:

• $[targetClassName]
• $[targetClassShortName]
• $[argumentTypes]
• $[arguments]

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the message template is empty or contains any invalid placeholders

setExitMessage

public void setExitMessage(String exitMessage)

Set the template used for method exit log messages. This template can contain any of the following placeholders:

• $[targetClassName]
• $[targetClassShortName]
• $[argumentTypes]
• $[arguments]
• $[returnValue]
• $[invocationTime]

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the message template is empty or contains any invalid placeholders

setExceptionMessage

public void setExceptionMessage(String exceptionMessage)

Set the template used for method exception log messages. This template can contain any of the following placeholders:

• $[targetClassName]
• $[targetClassShortName]
• $[argumentTypes]
• $[arguments]
• $[exception]

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the message template is empty or contains any invalid placeholders

invokeUnderTrace

protected Object invokeUnderTrace(MethodInvocation invocation,
                                  Log logger)
                           throws Throwable

Writes a log message before the invocation based on the value of enterMessage. If the invocation succeeds, then a log message is written on exit based on the value exitMessage. If an exception occurs during invocation, then a message is written based on the value of exceptionMessage.

Specified by:

invokeUnderTrace in class AbstractTraceInterceptor

logger - the Log to write trace messages to

Returns:

the result of the call to MethodInvocation.proceed()

Throws:

Throwable - if the call to MethodInvocation.proceed() encountered any errors

writeToLog

protected void writeToLog(Log logger,
                          String message)

Writes the supplied message to the supplied Log instance.

writeToLog

protected void writeToLog(Log logger,
                          String message,
                          Throwable ex)

Writes the supplied message and Throwable to the supplied Log instance. By default messages are written at TRACE level. Sub-classes can override this method to control which level the message is written at.

replacePlaceholders
