Spring AOP and Post Construct

Question

I want to write the name of method which is using with @PostConstruct. But I found that AOP is unable to "Around" the PostConstruct method. Is there any way to use AOP with PostConstruct method?

Answer 1

Give this a try.

    @Around("@annotation(javax.annotation.PostConstruct)")
    public void myAdvice(ProceedingJoinPoint jp) throws Throwable{
        System.out.println("This is before " + jp.getSignature().getName() + "()");
        jp.proceed();
    }

Additionally you need to activate compile-time weaving. I published a Demo project on github which uses maven. Clone https://github.com/jannikweichert/PostConstructAOPDemo and execute

mvn clean compile spring-boot:run

After that you should see in the Sysout:

This is before test()
test() is executed

Enjoy!
