Thanks to @StéphaneNicoll I managed to create a first version of a working solution:
The Aspect
@Component
@Aspect
public class CheckEntityAspect {
protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());
private ExpressionEvaluator<Long> evaluator = new ExpressionEvaluator<>();
@Before("execution(* *.*(..)) && @annotation(checkEntity)")
public void checkEntity(JoinPoint joinPoint, CheckEntity checkEntity) {
Long result = getValue(joinPoint, checkEntity.key());
logger.info("result: " + result);
System.out.println("running entity check: " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
}
private Long getValue(JoinPoint joinPoint, String condition) {
return getValue(joinPoint.getTarget(), joinPoint.getArgs(),
joinPoint.getTarget().getClass(),
((MethodSignature) joinPoint.getSignature()).getMethod(), condition);
}
private Long getValue(Object object, Object[] args, Class clazz, Method method, String condition) {
if (args == null) {
return null;
}
EvaluationContext evaluationContext = evaluator.createEvaluationContext(object, clazz, method, args);
AnnotatedElementKey methodKey = new AnnotatedElementKey(method, clazz);
return evaluator.condition(condition, methodKey, evaluationContext, Long.class);
}
}
The Expression Evaluator
public class ExpressionEvaluator<T> extends CachedExpressionEvaluator {
// shared param discoverer since it caches data internally
private final ParameterNameDiscoverer paramNameDiscoverer = new DefaultParameterNameDiscoverer();
private final Map<ExpressionKey, Expression> conditionCache = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(64);
private final Map<AnnotatedElementKey, Method> targetMethodCache = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(64);
/**
* Create the suitable {@link EvaluationContext} for the specified event handling
* on the specified method.
*/
public EvaluationContext createEvaluationContext(Object object, Class<?> targetClass, Method method, Object[] args) {
Method targetMethod = getTargetMethod(targetClass, method);
ExpressionRootObject root = new ExpressionRootObject(object, args);
return new MethodBasedEvaluationContext(root, targetMethod, args, this.paramNameDiscoverer);
}
/**
* Specify if the condition defined by the specified expression matches.
*/
public T condition(String conditionExpression, AnnotatedElementKey elementKey, EvaluationContext evalContext, Class<T> clazz) {
return getExpression(this.conditionCache, elementKey, conditionExpression).getValue(evalContext, clazz);
}
private Method getTargetMethod(Class<?> targetClass, Method method) {
AnnotatedElementKey methodKey = new AnnotatedElementKey(method, targetClass);
Method targetMethod = this.targetMethodCache.get(methodKey);
if (targetMethod == null) {
targetMethod = AopUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(method, targetClass);
if (targetMethod == null) {
targetMethod = method;
}
this.targetMethodCache.put(methodKey, targetMethod);
}
return targetMethod;
}
}
The Root Object
public class ExpressionRootObject {
private final Object object;
private final Object[] args;
public ExpressionRootObject(Object object, Object[] args) {
this.object = object;
this.args = args;
}
public Object getObject() {
return object;
}
public Object[] getArgs() {
return args;
}
}
