Class ReflectiveMethodInvocation

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.aop.framework.ReflectiveMethodInvocation

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Invocation, Joinpoint, MethodInvocation, ProxyMethodInvocation

public class ReflectiveMethodInvocation
extends java.lang.Object
implements ProxyMethodInvocation, java.lang.Cloneable

Spring's implementation of the AOP Alliance MethodInvocation interface, implementing the extended ProxyMethodInvocation interface.

Invokes the target object using reflection. Subclasses can override the invokeJoinpoint() method to change this behavior, so this is also a useful base class for more specialized MethodInvocation implementations.

It is possible to clone an invocation, to invoke proceed() repeatedly (once per clone), using the invocableClone() method. It is also possible to attach custom attributes to the invocation, using the setUserAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) / getUserAttribute(java.lang.String) methods.

NOTE: This class is considered internal and should not be directly accessed. The sole reason for it being public is compatibility with existing framework integrations (e.g. Pitchfork). For any other purposes, use the ProxyMethodInvocation interface instead.

Constructor Detail

ReflectiveMethodInvocation

protected ReflectiveMethodInvocation(java.lang.Object proxy,
                                     java.lang.Object target,
                                     java.lang.reflect.Method method,
                                     java.lang.Object[] arguments,
                                     java.lang.Class<?> targetClass,
                                     java.util.List<java.lang.Object> interceptorsAndDynamicMethodMatchers)

Construct a new ReflectiveMethodInvocation with the given arguments.

Parameters:

proxy - the proxy object that the invocation was made on

target - the target object to invoke

method - the method to invoke

arguments - the arguments to invoke the method with

targetClass - the target class, for MethodMatcher invocations

interceptorsAndDynamicMethodMatchers - interceptors that should be applied, along with any InterceptorAndDynamicMethodMatchers that need evaluation at runtime. MethodMatchers included in this struct must already have been found to have matched as far as was possibly statically. Passing an array might be about 10% faster, but would complicate the code. And it would work only for static pointcuts.

Method Detail

getProxy

public final java.lang.Object getProxy()

Description copied from interface: ProxyMethodInvocation

Return the proxy that this method invocation was made through.

Specified by:

getProxy in interface ProxyMethodInvocation

Returns:

the original proxy object

getThis

public final java.lang.Object getThis()

Specified by:

getThis in interface Joinpoint

getStaticPart

public final java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject getStaticPart()

Specified by:

getStaticPart in interface Joinpoint

getMethod

public final java.lang.reflect.Method getMethod()

Return the method invoked on the proxied interface. May or may not correspond with a method invoked on an underlying implementation of that interface.

Specified by:

getMethod in interface MethodInvocation

getArguments

public final java.lang.Object[] getArguments()

Specified by:

getArguments in interface Invocation

setArguments

public void setArguments(java.lang.Object[] arguments)

Description copied from interface: ProxyMethodInvocation

Set the arguments to be used on subsequent invocations in the any advice in this chain.

Specified by:

setArguments in interface ProxyMethodInvocation

Parameters:

arguments - the argument array

proceed

public java.lang.Object proceed()
                         throws java.lang.Throwable

Specified by:

proceed in interface Joinpoint

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable

invokeJoinpoint

protected java.lang.Object invokeJoinpoint()
                                    throws java.lang.Throwable

Invoke the joinpoint using reflection. Subclasses can override this to use custom invocation.

Returns:

the return value of the joinpoint

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable - if invoking the joinpoint resulted in an exception

invocableClone

public MethodInvocation invocableClone()

This implementation returns a shallow copy of this invocation object, including an independent copy of the original arguments array.

We want a shallow copy in this case: We want to use the same interceptor chain and other object references, but we want an independent value for the current interceptor index.

Specified by:

invocableClone in interface ProxyMethodInvocation

Returns:

an invocable clone of this invocation. proceed() can be called once per clone.

See Also:

Object.clone()

invocableClone

public MethodInvocation invocableClone(java.lang.Object[] arguments)

This implementation returns a shallow copy of this invocation object, using the given arguments array for the clone.

We want a shallow copy in this case: We want to use the same interceptor chain and other object references, but we want an independent value for the current interceptor index.

Specified by:

invocableClone in interface ProxyMethodInvocation

Parameters:

arguments - the arguments that the cloned invocation is supposed to use, overriding the original arguments

Returns:

an invocable clone of this invocation. proceed() can be called once per clone.

See Also:

Object.clone()

setUserAttribute

public void setUserAttribute(java.lang.String key,
                             java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: ProxyMethodInvocation

Add the specified user attribute with the given value to this invocation.

Such attributes are not used within the AOP framework itself. They are just kept as part of the invocation object, for use in special interceptors.

Specified by:

setUserAttribute in interface ProxyMethodInvocation

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute

value - the value of the attribute, or null to reset it

getUserAttribute

public java.lang.Object getUserAttribute(java.lang.String key)

Description copied from interface: ProxyMethodInvocation

Return the value of the specified user attribute.

Specified by:

getUserAttribute in interface ProxyMethodInvocation

Parameters:

key - the name of the attribute

Returns:

the value of the attribute, or null if not set

See Also:

ProxyMethodInvocation.setUserAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)

getUserAttributes

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getUserAttributes()

Return user attributes associated with this invocation. This method provides an invocation-bound alternative to a ThreadLocal.

This map is initialized lazily and is not used in the AOP framework itself.

Returns:

any user attributes associated with this invocation (never null)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
