Class ExposeInvocationInterceptor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.aop.interceptor.ExposeInvocationInterceptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Advice, Interceptor, MethodInterceptor, Ordered

public class ExposeInvocationInterceptor
extends Object
implements MethodInterceptor, Ordered, Serializable

Interceptor that exposes the current MethodInvocation as a thread-local object. We occasionally need to do this; for example, when a pointcut (e.g. an AspectJ expression pointcut) needs to know the full invocation context.

Don't use this interceptor unless this is really necessary. Target objects should not normally know about Spring AOP, as this creates a dependency on Spring API. Target objects should be plain POJOs as far as possible.

If used, this interceptor will normally be the first in the interceptor chain.

Field Detail

INSTANCE

public static final ExposeInvocationInterceptor INSTANCE

Singleton instance of this class

ADVISOR

public static final Advisor ADVISOR

Singleton advisor for this class. Use in preference to INSTANCE when using Spring AOP, as it prevents the need to create a new Advisor to wrap the instance.

Method Detail

currentInvocation

public static MethodInvocation currentInvocation()
                                          throws IllegalStateException

Return the AOP Alliance MethodInvocation object associated with the current invocation.

Returns:

the invocation object associated with the current invocation

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if there is no AOP invocation in progress, or if the ExposeInvocationInterceptor was not added to this interceptor chain

invoke

public Object invoke(MethodInvocation mi)
              throws Throwable

Specified by:

invoke in interface MethodInterceptor

Throws:

Throwable

getOrder

public int getOrder()

Description copied from interface: Ordered

Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

Normally starting with 0, with Integer.MAX_VALUE indicating the greatest value. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

Higher values can be interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

Specified by:

getOrder in interface Ordered

Returns:

the order value
