## Class Pointcuts

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.aop.support.Pointcuts

-     public abstract class Pointcuts
      extends Object

  Pointcut constants for matching getters and setters, and static methods useful for manipulating and evaluating pointcuts. These methods are particularly useful for composing pointcuts using the union and intersection methods.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### union

          public static Pointcut union(Pointcut pc1,
                       Pointcut pc2)

      Match all methods that either (or both) of the given pointcuts matches.
      Parameters:
        `pc1` - the first Pointcut
        `pc2` - the second Pointcut
      Returns:
        a distinct Pointcut that matches all methods that either of the given Pointcuts matches

    - #### intersection

          public static Pointcut intersection(Pointcut pc1,
                              Pointcut pc2)

      Match all methods that both the given pointcuts match.
      Parameters:
        `pc1` - the first Pointcut
        `pc2` - the second Pointcut
      Returns:
        a distinct Pointcut that matches all methods that both of the given Pointcuts match

    - #### matches

          public static boolean matches(Pointcut pointcut,
                        Method method,
                        Class targetClass,
                        Object[] args)

      Perform the least expensive check for a pointcut match.
      Parameters:
        `pointcut` - the pointcut to match
        `method` - the candidate method
        `targetClass` - the target class
        `args` - arguments to the method
      Returns:
        whether there's a runtime match
