#AspectJ pointcut for all methods of a class with specific annotation
I am trying to write a pointcut for all methods of a class which have a custom annotation. Here's the code
Annotation:
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
#Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Target(value = ElementType.METHOD)
public #interface ValidateRequest {}
Method in Controller:
#RequestMapping(value = "getAbyB", produces = "application/json")
#ResponseBody
#ValidateRequest
public Object getAbyB(#RequestBody GetAbyBRequest req) throws Exception {
/// logic
}
Aspect:
#Aspect
#Component
public class CustomAspectHandler {
#Before("execution(public * *(..))")
public void foo(JoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
LOG.info("yippee!");
}
}
applicationContext:
`<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />`
I've been trying various advices, mentioned below, but none seem to work (except for the one used above)
#Around("#within(com.pack.Anno1) || #annotation(com.pack.Anno1)")
#Around("execution(#com.pack.Anno1 * *(..))")

Answer 1

This should work:
#Aspect
#Component
public class CustomAspectHandler {
#Pointcut("execution(#ValidateRequest * *.*(..))")
public void validateRequestTargets(){}
#Around("validateRequestTargets()")
public Object foo(JoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
LOG.info("yippee!");
return joinPoint.proceed();
}
}
