Interface Interceptor

public interface Interceptor

Classes implementing this interface can configured to intercept invocations. These classes are constructed by their (typically implicit) public accessible constructor. Example (A) shows how to implement an interceptor using this interface. A more sophisticated interceptor is listed at example (B).

Examples

(A) Example of an interceptor implementing the Interceptor interface:

 public class ExampleInterceptor implements Interceptor {

     public Object intercept(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
         try {
             // Run code before the invocation...
             return ctx.proceed();
         } finally {
             // Run code after the invocation...
         }
     }
 }
 

(B) Example of an interceptor that provides some very basic fail-over functionality:

 public class ExampleInterceptor implements Interceptor {
     
     public Object intercept(InvocationContext ctx) throws Exception {
         try {
             return ctx.proceed();
         } catch (IOException e) {
             // Re-establish the connection.
             ((Foo) ctx.getTarget()).connect();

             // Retry invocation.
             return ctx.proceed();
         }
     }
 }
 

A more powerful alternative to this interface is the AroundInvoke annotation.
