AspectJ pointcut for all methods of a class with specific annotation

Question

I want to monitor all public methods of all Classes with specified annotation  say  Monitor   note  Annotation is at class level   What could be a possible pointcut for this  Note  I am using  AspectJ style Spring AOP

Use        Before  execution     YourAnnotationAtClassLevel                 public void beforeYourAnnotation JoinPoint proceedingJoinPoint  throws Throwable

The simplest way seems to be     Around  execution  MyHandling   com exemple YourService          public Object aroundServiceMethodAdvice final ProceedingJoinPoint pjp     throws Throwable         perform actions before     return pjp proceed           perform actions after     It will intercept execution of all methods specifically annotated with   MyHandling  in  YourService  class  To intercept all methods without exception  just put the annotation directly on the class   No matter of the private   public scope here  but keep in mind that spring-aop cannot use aspect for method calls in same instance  typically private ones   because it doesn t use the proxy class in this case   We use  Around advice here  but it s basically the same syntax with  Before   After or any advice   By the way   MyHandling annotation must be configured like this     Retention RetentionPolicy RUNTIME   Target    ElementType METHOD  ElementType TYPE    public  interface MyHandling

You could use Spring s PerformanceMonitoringInterceptor and programmatically register the advice using a beanpostprocessor    Target   ElementType TYPE  ElementType METHOD     Retention RetentionPolicy RUNTIME   Inherited  Documented public  interface Monitorable        public class PerformanceMonitorBeanPostProcessor extends ProxyConfig implements BeanPostProcessor  BeanClassLoaderAware  Ordered      InitializingBean      private Class lt   extends Annotation gt  annotationType   Monitorable class     private ClassLoader beanClassLoader   ClassUtils getDefaultClassLoader       private Advisor advisor     public void setBeanClassLoader ClassLoader classLoader          this beanClassLoader   classLoader         public int getOrder           return LOWEST PRECEDENCE         public void afterPropertiesSet           Pointcut pointcut   new AnnotationMatchingPointcut this annotationType  true       Advice advice   getInterceptor        this advisor   new DefaultPointcutAdvisor pointcut  advice          private Advice getInterceptor           return new PerformanceMonitoringInterceptor           public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization Object bean  String beanName          return bean         public Object postProcessAfterInitialization Object bean  String beanName          if bean instanceof AopInfrastructureBean              return bean            Class lt   gt  targetClass   AopUtils getTargetClass bean       if AopUtils canApply this advisor  targetClass               if bean instanceof Advised                    Advised bean  addAdvisor this advisor           return bean                else                 ProxyFactory proxyFactory   new ProxyFactory bean           proxyFactory copyFrom this           proxyFactory addAdvisor this advisor           return proxyFactory getProxy this beanClassLoader                     else             return bean

it should be enough to mark your aspect method like this    After   annotation com marcot CommitTransaction        public void after       have a look at this for a step by step guide on this

Something like that    Before  execution   com yourpackage             public void monitor JoinPoint jp        if  jp getTarget   getClass   isAnnotationPresent Monitor class               perform the monitoring actions           Note that you must not have any other advice on the same class before this one  because the annotations will be lost after proxying

I share with you a code that can be useful  it is to create an annotation that can be used either in a class or a method   Target  TYPE  METHOD    Retention RUNTIME   Documented public  interface AnnotationLogger                  It is the parameter is to show arguments in the method or the class              boolean showArguments   default false       Aspect  Component public class AnnotationLoggerAspect             Autowired      private Logger logger             private static final String METHOD NAME      quot METHOD NAME      quot       private static final String ARGUMENTS        quot ARGS      quot             Before value    quot  within com org example annotations AnnotationLogger      annotation com org example annotations AnnotationLogger  quot       public void logAdviceExecutionBefore JoinPoint joinPoint             CodeSignature codeSignature    CodeSignature  joinPoint getSignature            AnnotationLogger annotationLogger   getAnnotationLogger joinPoint           if annotationLogger   null                StringBuilder annotationLoggerFormat   new StringBuilder                List lt Object gt  annotationLoggerArguments   new ArrayList lt  gt                 annotationLoggerFormat append METHOD NAME               annotationLoggerArguments add codeSignature getName                              if  annotationLogger showArguments                      annotationLoggerFormat append ARGUMENTS                   List lt   gt  argumentList   Arrays asList joinPoint getArgs                     annotationLoggerArguments add argumentList toString                               logger error annotationLoggerFormat toString    annotationLoggerArguments toArray                              private AnnotationLogger getAnnotationLogger JoinPoint joinPoint            AnnotationLogger annotationLogger   null          try               MethodSignature signature    MethodSignature  joinPoint getSignature                Method method   joinPoint getTarget   getClass                        getMethod signature getMethod   getName    signature getMethod   getParameterTypes                              if  method isAnnotationPresent AnnotationLogger class                    annotationLogger   method getAnnotation AnnotationLoggerAspect class                else if  joinPoint getTarget   getClass   isAnnotationPresent AnnotationLoggerAspect class                    annotationLogger   joinPoint getTarget   getClass   getAnnotation AnnotationLoggerAspect class                             return annotationLogger           catch Exception e                return annotationLogger

You can also define the pointcut as   public pointcut publicMethodInsideAClassMarkedWithAtMonitor     execution public     Monitor

You should combine a type pointcut with a method pointcut   These pointcuts will do the work to find all public methods inside a class marked with an  Monitor annotation    Pointcut  within  org rejeev Monitor      public void beanAnnotatedWithMonitor        Pointcut  execution public            public void publicMethod        Pointcut  publicMethod    amp  amp  beanAnnotatedWithMonitor     public void publicMethodInsideAClassMarkedWithAtMonitor        Advice the last pointcut that combines the first two and you re done   If you re interested  I have written a cheat sheet with  AspectJ style here with a corresponding example document here
