I'm writing an aspect to log Request and Response of each API call in a controller. I want to be able to use this annotation on a class, hence used @Target(ElementType.TYPE)
Previously I had added @Target(ElementType.Method) and I was using this annotation on methods and it was working fine. Now I want to change it to @Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) public @interface ReLogger {} @Aspect @Component public class ReLoggerAspect { public static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger("ReLoggerAspect"); @PostConstruct private void postConstruct() { log.info("ReLoggerAspect Created"); } @Around("@annotation(ReLogger)") private Object reqLoggingAspect(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable { log.info("Request {}",jointPoint.getArgs()[0); } } Using @ReLoggerAspect on a class
@RestController @RequestMapping(value = "....", produces = { "application/json" }) @ReLogger public class Samplecontroller { /** Some logic here**/..... } It doesn't print the Request when an API SampleController is invoked
