AopUtils class abstract final

Helpers that tell whether an object is an AOP proxy and find the bean behind it.

Code that needs the real object rather than its proxy uses them: a test that checks advice was applied, code that compares a bean's runtime class, or a library that inspects beans. Proxying is invisible to most application code, which never needs this.

// In a test: the Calculator bean is advised, and this is its target.
final calculator = context.getBean<Calculator>();
AopUtils.isAopProxy(calculator); // true
AopUtils.getTarget(calculator); // the SimpleCalculator

Spring (Java):

Calculator calculator = context.getBean(Calculator.class);
AopUtils.isAopProxy(calculator);
AopProxyUtils.getSingletonTarget(calculator);

Properties

Static Methods

getTarget(Object object) → Object

The object behind object, unwrapping nested proxies; object itself when it is not a proxy or is a subclass proxy (its own target).

isAopProxy(Object? object) → bool

Whether object is an AOP proxy: a wrapper around another object, or a generated subclass proxy with advice attached. A subclass proxy no advice matched is not one.
