Method Detail

isAopProxy

public static boolean isAopProxy(Object object)

Check whether the given object is a JDK dynamic proxy or a CGLIB proxy.

Parameters:

object - the object to check

See Also:

isJdkDynamicProxy(java.lang.Object), isCglibProxy(java.lang.Object)

isJdkDynamicProxy

public static boolean isJdkDynamicProxy(Object object)

Check whether the given object is a JDK dynamic proxy.

Parameters:

object - the object to check

See Also:

Proxy.isProxyClass(java.lang.Class<?>)

isCglibProxy

public static boolean isCglibProxy(Object object)

Check whether the given object is a CGLIB proxy. Goes beyond the implementation in ClassUtils.isCglibProxy(Object) by checking also to see if the given object is an instance of SpringProxy.

Parameters:

object - the object to check

See Also:

ClassUtils.isCglibProxy(Object)

isCglibProxyClass

@Deprecated
public static boolean isCglibProxyClass(Class<?> clazz)

Deprecated. as of Spring 3.1 in favor of ClassUtils.isCglibProxyClass(Class)

Check whether the specified class is a CGLIB-generated class.

Parameters:

clazz - the class to check

isCglibProxyClassName

@Deprecated
public static boolean isCglibProxyClassName(String className)

Deprecated. as of Spring 3.1 in favor of ClassUtils.isCglibProxyClassName(String)

Check whether the specified class name is a CGLIB-generated class.

Parameters:

className - the class name to check

getTargetClass

public static Class<?> getTargetClass(Object candidate)

Determine the target class of the given bean instance which might be an AOP proxy.

Returns the target class for an AOP proxy and the plain class else.

Parameters:

candidate - the instance to check (might be an AOP proxy)

Returns:

the target class (or the plain class of the given object as fallback; never null)

See Also:

TargetClassAware.getTargetClass(), AopProxyUtils.ultimateTargetClass(Object)

isEqualsMethod

public static boolean isEqualsMethod(Method method)

Determine whether the given method is an "equals" method.

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

isHashCodeMethod

public static boolean isHashCodeMethod(Method method)

Determine whether the given method is a "hashCode" method.

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

isToStringMethod

public static boolean isToStringMethod(Method method)

Determine whether the given method is a "toString" method.

See Also:

Object.toString()

isFinalizeMethod

public static boolean isFinalizeMethod(Method method)

Determine whether the given method is a "finalize" method.

See Also:

Object.finalize()

getMostSpecificMethod

public static Method getMostSpecificMethod(Method method,
                                           Class<?> targetClass)

Given a method, which may come from an interface, and a target class used in the current AOP invocation, find the corresponding target method if there is one. E.g. the method may be IFoo.bar() and the target class may be DefaultFoo. In this case, the method may be DefaultFoo.bar(). This enables attributes on that method to be found.

NOTE: In contrast to ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Class<?>), this method resolves Java 5 bridge methods in order to retrieve attributes from the original method definition.

Parameters:

method - the method to be invoked, which may come from an interface

targetClass - the target class for the current invocation. May be null or may not even implement the method.

Returns:

the specific target method, or the original method if the targetClass doesn't implement it or is null

See Also:

ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Class<?>)

canApply

public static boolean canApply(Pointcut pc,
                               Class<?> targetClass)

Can the given pointcut apply at all on the given class?

This is an important test as it can be used to optimize out a pointcut for a class.

Parameters:

pc - the static or dynamic pointcut to check

targetClass - the class to test

Returns:

whether the pointcut can apply on any method

canApply

public static boolean canApply(Pointcut pc,

                               boolean hasIntroductions)

Can the given pointcut apply at all on the given class?

This is an important test as it can be used to optimize out a pointcut for a class.

Parameters:

pc - the static or dynamic pointcut to check

targetClass - the class to test

hasIntroductions - whether or not the advisor chain for this bean includes any introductions

Returns:

whether the pointcut can apply on any method

canApply

public static boolean canApply(Advisor advisor,
                               Class<?> targetClass)

Can the given advisor apply at all on the given class? This is an important test as it can be used to optimize out a advisor for a class.

Parameters:

advisor - the advisor to check

targetClass - class we're testing

canApply

public static boolean canApply(Advisor advisor,
                               Class<?> targetClass,
                               boolean hasIntroductions)

Can the given advisor apply at all on the given class?

This is an important test as it can be used to optimize out a advisor for a class. This version also takes into account introductions (for IntroductionAwareMethodMatchers).

Parameters:

advisor - the advisor to check

targetClass - class we're testing

hasIntroductions - whether or not the advisor chain for this bean includes any introductions

Returns:

whether the pointcut can apply on any method

Determine the sublist of the candidateAdvisors list that is applicable to the given class.

Parameters:

candidateAdvisors - the Advisors to evaluate

clazz - the target class

Returns:

sublist of Advisors that can apply to an object of the given class (may be the incoming List as-is)
