Annotation Type Around

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE})
public @interface Around

Annotation stereotype to applied to other annotations to indicate the annotation provides Around advice.

Around advice decorates a method invocation such that the method can be intercepted via a MethodInterceptor

For example:

   @Around
   @Type(ExampleInterceptor.class)
   @Documented
   @Retention(RUNTIME)
   public @interface Example {
   }
 

Note that the annotation MUST be RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME and the specified Type must implement MethodInterceptor

Since:

Optional Element Summary

Optional Elements

Modifier and Type	Optional Element and Description
boolean	hotswap If proxyTarget() is set to true then one can optionally set the of hotswap to true in which case the proxy will implement the HotSwappableInterceptedProxy interface.
boolean	lazy By default Micronaut will initialize the proxy target eagerly when the proxy is created.
boolean	proxyTarget By default Micronaut will compile subclasses of the target class and call super.foo(..) to invoke the original method since this is more efficient and allows proxied methods to work for calls from within the class.

Element Detail

proxyTarget

public abstract boolean proxyTarget

By default Micronaut will compile subclasses of the target class and call super.foo(..) to invoke the original method since this is more efficient and allows proxied methods to work for calls from within the class.

However certain cases it may be useful to be able to to instead proxy all public methods of the original implementation. By setting the value here to true the Interceptor can specify that it requires proxying of the class

Generated subclasses will implement InterceptedProxy if this attribute is set to true

Returns:

True if the original implementation should be proxied. Defaults to false.

InterceptedProxy

Default:

false

hotswap

public abstract boolean hotswap

If proxyTarget() is set to true then one can optionally set the of hotswap to true in which case the proxy will implement the HotSwappableInterceptedProxy interface.

Returns:

True if the proxy should allow hotswap

See Also:

HotSwappableInterceptedProxy

Default:

false

lazy

public abstract boolean lazy

By default Micronaut will initialize the proxy target eagerly when the proxy is created. This is better for performance, but some use cases may require the bean to be resolved lazily (for example for resolving the bean from a custom scope).

If proxyTarget() is set to true then one can optionally set the of lazy to true

Returns:

True if the proxy target should be resolved lazily

Default:

false
