Constructor Detail

TypePatternClassFilter

public TypePatternClassFilter()

Creates a new instance of the TypePatternClassFilter class.

This is the JavaBean constructor; be sure to set the typePattern property, else a no doubt fatal IllegalStateException will be thrown when the matches(Class) method is first invoked.

TypePatternClassFilter

public TypePatternClassFilter(java.lang.String typePattern)

Create a fully configured TypePatternClassFilter using the given type pattern.

Parameters:

typePattern - the type pattern that AspectJ weaver should parse

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the supplied typePattern is null or is recognized as invalid

Method Detail

setTypePattern

public void setTypePattern(java.lang.String typePattern)

Set the AspectJ type pattern to match.

Examples include: org.springframework.beans.* This will match any class or interface in the given package. org.springframework.beans.ITestBean+ This will match the ITestBean interface and any class that implements it.

These conventions are established by AspectJ, not Spring AOP.

Parameters:

typePattern - the type pattern that AspectJ weaver should parse

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the supplied typePattern is null or is recognized as invalid

getTypePattern

public java.lang.String getTypePattern()

matches

public boolean matches(java.lang.Class clazz)

Should the pointcut apply to the given interface or target class?

Specified by:

matches in interface ClassFilter

Parameters:

clazz - candidate target class

Returns:

whether the advice should apply to this candidate target class

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if no setTypePattern(String) has been set

replaceBooleanOperators

private java.lang.String replaceBooleanOperators(java.lang.String pcExpr)

If a type pattern has been specified in XML, the user cannot write and as "&&" (though && will work). We also allow and between two sub-expressions.

This method converts back to && for the AspectJ pointcut parser.
