How to implement Before Advice using Classic Spring Proxy-Based AOP in Java ?.

A simple application to demonstrate how to implement Before Advice using Classic Spring Proxy-Based AOP in Java.


Step 1:- Sum.java Interface

package com.hubberspot.classic.aop.beforeadvice;

// Its a simple interface for the Sum service.
// It contains one single method called as addition().
// This method takes in two arguments both of the type
// int.
public interface Sum {

 public int addition(int a , int b);

}




Step 2:- SumImpl.java Service Implementation Class

package com.hubberspot.classic.aop.beforeadvice;

// It is the implementation class for the 
// Sum service. It just calculates and returns 
// sum of two numbers passed to it as arguments.

public class SumImpl implements Sum {

 @Override
 public int addition(int a, int b) {

  return (a + b);

 }

}




Step 3:- Before Advice Implementation class

package com.hubberspot.classic.aop.beforeadvice;

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import org.springframework.aop.MethodBeforeAdvice;

// This class is a simple Before Advice which implements 
// interface called as MethodBeforeAdvice. This interface 
// has a method by name before(). This advice method is 
// called just before the addition() method in the SumImpl
// class. It just outputs to the console a simple message.

public class BeforeAdditionAdvice implements MethodBeforeAdvice {

 // before() method has to be implemented in this advice class.
 // It takes in three parameters:
 // 1. java.lang.reflect.Method object which refers to the method
 // to which the Advice is applied.
 // 2. A simple array of Objects that are the arguments which are
 // passed to the method which is been implemented in the service
 // class. 
 // 3. The target object on which the method is been called.

 @Override
 public void before(Method method, Object[] args, Object target) {

  System.out.println("Before Calling Addition Method .... ");

 }

}

 <!-- Before Advice:- Advice is been configured as beans -->
 <bean id="beforeAddition"
  class="com.hubberspot.classic.aop.beforeadvice.BeforeAdditionAdvice" />

 <!-- Implementation Class -->
 <bean id="sumImpl" class="com.hubberspot.classic.aop.beforeadvice.SumImpl" />

 <!-- Proxy Implementation Class:- This configuration binds advices to the 
  implementation code using a proxy factory bean. In order to apply the advice 
  final bean has to be proxied. Spring's ProxyFactoryBean is a factory that 
  creates a proxy which implies one or more interceptors to bean -->

 <bean id="sum" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">

  <!-- This proxy bean definition has three properties 
  
  1. target :- It tells ProxyFactoryBean to which bean it will be 
  making proxy. 
  
  2. intercepterNames :- Interceptor Names property is configured 
  as a list of interceptor or advices which is being applied to 
  this proxy. 
  
  3. proxyInterfaces :- It just tells to ProxyFactoryBean that 
  which interface Proxy bean has to implement. 
  
  -->

  <property name="target">
   <ref bean="sumImpl" />
  </property>

  <property name="interceptorNames">
   <list>
    <value>beforeAddition</value>
   </list>
  </property>

  <property name="proxyInterfaces">
   <value>com.hubberspot.classic.aop.beforeadvice.Sum</value>
  </property>
 </bean>
</beans>


Step 5:- Test class

package com.hubberspot.classic.aop.beforeadvice;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class SumTest {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

  // ApplicationContext is a Spring interface which 
  // provides with the configuration for an application. 
  // It provides us with all the methods that BeanFactory 
  // provides. It loads the file resources in a older 
  // and generic manner. It helps us to publish events to the
  // listener registered to it. It also provides quick support
  // for internationalization. It provides us with the object 
  // requested, it reads the configuration file and provides
  // us with the necessary object required.
  // We are using concrete implementation of AbstractApplicationContext
  // here called as ClassPathXmlApplicationContext because this 
  // bean factory reads the xml file placed in the classpath of 
  // our application. We provide ClassPathXmlApplicationContext
  // with a configuration file called as before_advice.xml placed
  // at classpath of our application. 

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

  // In order to get a object instantiated for a particular bean 
  // we call getBean() method of ClassPathXmlApplicationContext
  // passing it the id for which the object is to be needed. 
  // Here getBean() returns an Object. We need to cast it back 
  // to the Sum object. Without implementing new keyword we 
  // have injected object of Sum just by reading an xml 
  // configuration file.

  Sum sum = (Sum)context.getBean("sum");

  int result = sum.addition(5, 10);

  System.out.println("Result = " + result);


 }

}
