Class ProtectPointcutPostProcessor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.security.intercept.method.ProtectPointcutPostProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanPostProcessor

public final class ProtectPointcutPostProcessor
extends Object
implements BeanPostProcessor

Parses AspectJ pointcut expressions, registering methods that match the pointcut with a traditional MapBasedMethodDefinitionSource.

This class provides a convenient way of declaring a list of pointcuts, and then having every method of every bean defined in the Spring application context compared with those pointcuts. Where a match is found, the matching method will be registered with the MapBasedMethodDefinitionSource.

It is very important to understand that only the first pointcut that matches a given method will be taken as authoritative for that method. This is why pointcuts should be provided as a LinkedHashMap, because their order is very important.

Note also that only beans defined in the Spring application context will be examined by this class.

Because this class registers method security metadata with MapBasedMethodDefinitionSource, normal Spring Security capabilities such as MethodDefinitionSourceAdvisor can be used. It does not matter the fact the method metadata was originally obtained from an AspectJ pointcut expression evaluation.
