Pass method argument in Aspect of custom annotation

Question

I\'m trying to use something similar to org.springframework.cache.annotation.Cacheable :

Custom annotation:

@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
             


        

Answer 1

Thanks to @StéphaneNicoll I managed to create a first version of a working solution:

The Aspect

@Component
@Aspect
public class CheckEntityAspect {
  protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());

  private ExpressionEvaluator evaluator = new ExpressionEvaluator<>();

  @Before("execution(* *.*(..)) && @annotation(checkEntity)")
  public void checkEntity(JoinPoint joinPoint, CheckEntity checkEntity) {
    Long result = getValue(joinPoint, checkEntity.key());
    logger.info("result: " + result);
    System.out.println("running entity check: " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
  }

  private Long getValue(JoinPoint joinPoint, String condition) {
    return getValue(joinPoint.getTarget(), joinPoint.getArgs(),
                    joinPoint.getTarget().getClass(),
                    ((MethodSignature) joinPoint.getSignature()).getMethod(), condition);
  }

  private Long getValue(Object object, Object[] args, Class clazz, Method method, String condition) {
    if (args == null) {
      return null;
    }
    EvaluationContext evaluationContext = evaluator.createEvaluationContext(object, clazz, method, args);
    AnnotatedElementKey methodKey = new AnnotatedElementKey(method, clazz);
    return evaluator.condition(condition, methodKey, evaluationContext, Long.class);
  }
}

The Expression Evaluator

public class ExpressionEvaluator extends CachedExpressionEvaluator {

  // shared param discoverer since it caches data internally
  private final ParameterNameDiscoverer paramNameDiscoverer = new DefaultParameterNameDiscoverer();

  private final Map conditionCache = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(64);

  private final Map targetMethodCache = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(64);

  /**
   * Create the suitable {@link EvaluationContext} for the specified event handling
   * on the specified method.
   */
  public EvaluationContext createEvaluationContext(Object object, Class targetClass, Method method, Object[] args) {

    Method targetMethod = getTargetMethod(targetClass, method);
    ExpressionRootObject root = new ExpressionRootObject(object, args);
    return new MethodBasedEvaluationContext(root, targetMethod, args, this.paramNameDiscoverer);
  }

  /**
   * Specify if the condition defined by the specified expression matches.
   */
  public T condition(String conditionExpression, AnnotatedElementKey elementKey, EvaluationContext evalContext, Class clazz) {
    return getExpression(this.conditionCache, elementKey, conditionExpression).getValue(evalContext, clazz);
  }

  private Method getTargetMethod(Class targetClass, Method method) {
    AnnotatedElementKey methodKey = new AnnotatedElementKey(method, targetClass);
    Method targetMethod = this.targetMethodCache.get(methodKey);
    if (targetMethod == null) {
      targetMethod = AopUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(method, targetClass);
      if (targetMethod == null) {
        targetMethod = method;
      }
      this.targetMethodCache.put(methodKey, targetMethod);
    }
    return targetMethod;
  }
}

The Root Object

public class ExpressionRootObject {
  private final Object object;

  private final Object[] args;

  public ExpressionRootObject(Object object, Object[] args) {
    this.object = object;
    this.args = args;
  }

  public Object getObject() {
    return object;
  }

  public Object[] getArgs() {
    return args;
  }
}
