Spring Framework-Example to use JoinPoint in AOP

Hello Friends, After discussing the pointcuts in last post Now discuss on Joinpoint . A Joinpoint is a point in the execution of the application where an aspect can be plugged in. this point could be a method being called Here is a example to understands the use of pointcuts-

Circle.java-

 package com.test.App;

public class Circle {

String name;

public String getName() {

return name;

}

public void setName(String name) {

this.name = name;

}

}

Triangle.java

package com.test.App;

public class Triangle {

String name;

public String getName() {

return name;

}

public void setName(String name) {

this.name = name;

}

}

LogAspect.java

package com.test.aspect;

import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;

//import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.After;

import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;

import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Before;

import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Pointcut;

@Aspect

public class LogAspect {

@Before("allGetters()")

public void loggingAd(JoinPoint jp)

{

System.out.println(jp.toString());

} 

 

   @Before("allcircle()")

public void loggingAdvice(JoinPoint jp)

{

System.out.println(jp.toString());

}

   @Pointcut("execution(* get*())")

  public void allGetters()

  {

  System.out.println("Wel Come With....allgetters");

  }

   

   @Pointcut("within(com.test.App.Circle)")

   public void allcircle()

   {

System.out.println("Wel Come With....circle");

   }

}

Shape.java

package com.test.service;

import com.test.App.Circle;

import com.test.App.Triangle;

public class Shape {

Circle circle;

Triangle triangle;

public Circle getCircle() {

return circle;

}

public void setCircle(Circle circle) {

this.circle = circle;

}

public Triangle getTriangle() {

return triangle;

}

public void setTriangle(Triangle triangle) {

this.triangle = triangle;

}

}

Main.java-

package com.test.aop;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

import com.test.service.Shape;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

ApplicationContext context=new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring.xml");

Shape sh=context.getBean("shape", Shape.class);

System.out.println(sh.getTriangle().getName());

System.out.println(sh.getCircle().getName());

}

}

Spring.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"

http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd"

xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context">

  <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>

<bean id="triangle" class="com.test.App.Triangle">

 <property name="name" value="triangle drawn"></property>

 </bean>

 <bean id="circle" class="com.test.App.Circle">

  <property name="name" value="circle drawn"></property>

 </bean>

<bean id="shape" class="com.test.service.Shape" autowire="byName">

</bean>

<bean id="log" class="com.test.aspect.LogAspect"></bean>

</beans>

Output

execution(Triangle com.test.service.Shape.getTriangle())
execution(String com.test.App.Triangle.getName())
triangle drawn
execution(Circle com.test.service.Shape.getCircle())
execution(String com.test.App.Circle.getName())
execution(String com.test.App.Circle.getName())
circle drawn

JoinPoint class contain the information related to the object which pass by pointcut.
