Aspect Oriented Programming with AspectJ and Spring AOP – A simple example to create logging aspect

Here’s the source code for this example: Download

Calculator.java

package singz.spring.aop.aopdemo;

public interface Calculator {
public int sum (int a, int b);
public int difference (int a, int b);
}

CalculatorImpl.java

package singz.spring.aop.aopdemo;

public class CalculatorImpl implements Calculator {

public int sum(int a, int b) {
System.out.println("sum() invoked - params: " + a + "," + b);
return (a+b);
}

public int difference(int a, int b) {
System.out.println("difference() invoked - params: " + a + "," + b);
return Math.abs(a-b);
}

}

LoggingAspect.java

package singz.spring.aop.aopdemo;

import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint;

public class LoggingAspect {

public Object log(ProceedingJoinPoint call) throws Throwable {
System.out.println("Intercepting call to '" + call.getSignature().getName() + "' method in " + call.getTarget().getClass());
System.out.println("Proceeding with the '" + call.getSignature().getName() + "' method invocation");
Object point = call.proceed();
System.out.println("Done with intercepting call to '" + call.getSignature().getName() + "' method in " + call.getTarget().getClass());
return point;
}

}

AOPMain.java

package singz.spring.aop.aopdemo;

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

public class AOPMain {

public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring-appcontext.xml");
Calculator calculator = (Calculator) appContext.getBean("calculator");
System.out.println("5 + 4 = " + calculator.sum(5, 4));
System.out.println("5 ~ 4 = " + calculator.difference(5, 4));
}

}
