    How to get component name in interceptor

    chawax

      Hi,


      I created an interceptor for Seam components. This interceptor needs to get the component name, but I can't find the way to get it from InvocationContext. I thought about looking for annotations of the class I get with InvocationContext.getTarget() method, but you can have many Seam components for one class. So is there a way to do this ?


      Thanks in advance ;)

          Hm... try making your interceptor a subclass of org.jboss.seam.intercept.AbstractInterceptor. It has getComponent() method :)

            Thanks. I followed your suggestion and wrote this interceptor :



            public class ApplicativeTraceInterceptor extends AbstractInterceptor
            {
                @javax.interceptor.AroundInvoke
                public Object aroundInvoke(org.jboss.seam.intercept.InvocationContext ctx)
                    throws Exception 
                {
                     Log applicativeLogger = Logging.getLog(ctx.getTarget().getClass()); 
                        applicativeLogger.info(
                                  "Execute service '#0' for component '#1'", 
                                  ctx.getMethod().getName(), 
                                  getComponent().getName());
                    
                    try
                    {
                        return ctx.proceed();
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        throw e;
                    }
                }
            }



            I use OpenEJB to run my tests (encountered serious problems with JBoss embedded), but on startup I have a OutOfMemoryError. See the startup logs below.

            I use Seam 2.1.0.BETA1. Do you have any idea what happens ? Is there something wrong in the way I wrote my interceptor ?

              I just found the solution. But there are things I can't understand ...


              I created a ApplicativeTrace annotation this way :



              @Target(ElementType.TYPE)
              @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
              @Interceptors(ApplicativeTraceInterceptor.class)
              public @interface ApplicativeTrace {
              
              }



              Then I used @org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.AroundInvoke annotation instead of @javax.interceptor.AroundInvoke one in my interceptor.



              public class ApplicativeTraceInterceptor extends AbstractInterceptor
              {
                  @org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.AroundInvoke
                  public Object aroundInvoke(org.jboss.seam.intercept.InvocationContext ctx)
                      throws Exception 
                  {
                       Log applicativeLogger = Logging.getLog(ctx.getTarget().getClass()); 
                          applicativeLogger.info(
                                    "Execute service '#0' for component '#1'", 
                                    ctx.getMethod().getName(), 
                                    getComponent().getName());
                      
                      try
                      {
                          return ctx.proceed();
                      }
                      catch (Exception e)
                      {
                          throw e;
                      }
                  }
              }



              Finally I use my ApplicativeTrace annotation in Seam components I need to intercept :



              @ApplicativeTrace
              public class ProcessInternalServiceBean 
                  extends ProcessInternalServiceBase 
                  implements ProcessInternalServiceLocal
              {
                  ...
              }



              But I can't understand why interceptor is not active when I add @javax.interceptor.Interceptors(ApplicativeTraceInterceptor.class) to the Seam components I want to intercept.


              Is there something I misunderstood ?

                There are 2 different types of interceptors: Seam and EJB3 interceptors.


                To create a Seam interceptor you use @org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.AroundInvoke, create an annotation and then annotate Seam components that should be intercepted (like you did above).


                To create an EJB3 interceptor you use @javax.interceptor.Interceptors (I'm not sure if subclassing Seam AbstractInterceptor works then) and use @Interceptors to apply it (more).

                  OK, I understand better now.
                  I confirm that subclassing Seam AbstractInterceptor to create a EJB3 interceptor doesn't work, the interceptor is never called.
                  Thanks a lot Pawel ;)
