Method Detail

beforeInvoke

java.lang.Object beforeInvoke(java.lang.Object object,
                              java.lang.String methodName,
                              java.lang.Object[] arguments)

This code is executed before the method is optionally called.

Parameters:

object - receiver object for the method call

methodName - name of the method to call

arguments - arguments to the method call

Returns:

any arbitrary result that replaces the result of the original method call only if doInvoke() returns false and afterInvoke() relays this result.

afterInvoke

java.lang.Object afterInvoke(java.lang.Object object,
                             java.lang.String methodName,
                             java.lang.Object[] arguments,
                             java.lang.Object result)

This code is executed after the method is optionally called.

Parameters:

object - receiver object for the called method

methodName - name of the called method

arguments - arguments to the called method

result - result of the executed method call or result of beforeInvoke if method was not called

Returns:

any arbitrary result that can replace the result of the original method call. Typically, the result parameter is returned.
