## Class AbstractTraceInterceptor

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.aop.interceptor.AbstractTraceInterceptor

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Advice, Interceptor, MethodInterceptor
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractMonitoringInterceptor, CustomizableTraceInterceptor, SimpleTraceInterceptor

      public abstract class AbstractTraceInterceptor
      extends Object
      implements MethodInterceptor, Serializable

  Base `MethodInterceptor` implementation for tracing.

  By default, log messages are written to the log for the interceptor class, not the class which is being intercepted. Setting the `useDynamicLogger` bean property to `true` causes all log messages to be written to the `Log` for the target class being intercepted.

  Subclasses must implement the `invokeUnderTrace` method, which is invoked by this class ONLY when a particular invocation SHOULD be traced. Subclasses should write to the `Log` instance provided.

  Since:
    1.2

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### defaultLogger

          protected transient Log defaultLogger

      The default `Log` instance used to write trace messages. This instance is mapped to the implementing `Class`.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### AbstractTraceInterceptor

          public AbstractTraceInterceptor()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setUseDynamicLogger

          public void setUseDynamicLogger(boolean useDynamicLogger)

      Set whether to use a dynamic logger or a static logger. Default is a static logger for this trace interceptor.

      Used to determine which `Log` instance should be used to write log messages for a particular method invocation: a dynamic one for the `Class` getting called, or a static one for the `Class` of the trace interceptor.

      NOTE: Specify either this property or "loggerName", not both.

      See Also:
        `getLoggerForInvocation(org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInvocation)`

    - #### setLoggerName

          public void setLoggerName(String loggerName)

      Set the name of the logger to use. The name will be passed to the underlying logger implementation through Commons Logging, getting interpreted as log category according to the logger's configuration.

      This can be specified to not log into the category of a class (whether this interceptor's class or the class getting called) but rather into a specific named category.

      NOTE: Specify either this property or "useDynamicLogger", not both.

      See Also:
        `LogFactory.getLog(String)`, `Logger.getLogger(String)`, `Logger.getLogger(String)`

    - #### setHideProxyClassNames

          public void setHideProxyClassNames(boolean hideProxyClassNames)

      Set to "true" to have `dynamic loggers` hide proxy class names wherever possible. Default is "false".

    - #### invoke

          public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation)
                        throws Throwable

      Determines whether or not logging is enabled for the particular `MethodInvocation`. If not, the method invocation proceeds as normal, otherwise the method invocation is passed to the `invokeUnderTrace` method for handling.
      Specified by:
        `invoke` in interface `MethodInterceptor`
      Throws:
        `Throwable`
      See Also:
        `invokeUnderTrace(org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInvocation, org.apache.commons.logging.Log)`

    - #### getLoggerForInvocation

          protected Log getLoggerForInvocation(MethodInvocation invocation)

      Return the appropriate `Log` instance to use for the given `MethodInvocation`. If the `useDynamicLogger` flag is set, the `Log` instance will be for the target class of the `MethodInvocation`, otherwise the `Log` will be the default static logger.
      Parameters:
        `invocation` - the `MethodInvocation` being traced
      Returns:
        the `Log` instance to use
      See Also:
        `setUseDynamicLogger(boolean)`

    - #### getClassForLogging

          protected Class getClassForLogging(Object target)

      Determine the class to use for logging purposes.
      Parameters:
        `target` - the target object to introspect
      Returns:
        the target class for the given object
      See Also:
        `setHideProxyClassNames(boolean)`

    - #### isInterceptorEnabled

          protected boolean isInterceptorEnabled(MethodInvocation invocation,
                                     Log logger)

      Determine whether the interceptor should kick in, that is, whether the `invokeUnderTrace` method should be called.

      Default behavior is to check whether the given `Log` instance is enabled. Subclasses can override this to apply the interceptor in other cases as well.

      Parameters:
        `invocation` - the `MethodInvocation` being traced
        `logger` - the `Log` instance to check
      See Also:
        `invokeUnderTrace(org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInvocation, org.apache.commons.logging.Log)`, `isLogEnabled(org.apache.commons.logging.Log)`

    - #### isLogEnabled

          protected boolean isLogEnabled(Log logger)

      Determine whether the given `Log` instance is enabled.

      Default is `true` when the "trace" level is enabled. Subclasses can override this to change the level under which 'tracing' occurs.

      Parameters:
        `logger` - the `Log` instance to check

    - #### invokeUnderTrace

          protected abstract Object invokeUnderTrace(MethodInvocation invocation,
                                Log logger)
                                              throws Throwable

      Subclasses must override this method to perform any tracing around the supplied `MethodInvocation`. Subclasses are responsible for ensuring that the `MethodInvocation` actually executes by calling `MethodInvocation.proceed()`.

      By default, the passed-in `Log` instance will have log level "trace" enabled. Subclasses do not have to check for this again, unless they overwrite the `isInterceptorEnabled` method to modify the default behavior.

      Parameters:
        `logger` - the `Log` to write trace messages to
      Returns:
        the result of the call to `MethodInvocation.proceed()`
      Throws:
        `Throwable` - if the call to `MethodInvocation.proceed()` encountered any errors
