I am writing a Spring aspect and looking for a way to update a field on the returning object
My Dto's
@Getter
@Setter
@SuperBuilder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class BaseDto{
LocalDateTime testTime;
}
@Getter
@Setter
@SuperBuilder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class TestDto{
private BaseDto baseDtol
}
@Getter
@Setter
@SuperBuilder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class SampleDto{
private BaseDto baseDtol
}
My converters classes:
@TestAnnotation
public TestDto covert(){
return new TestDto()
}
@TestAnnotation
public SampleDto covert(){
return new SampleDto()
}
Aspect:
@Aspect
@Component
public class TestAspect {
@AfterReturning(value = "@annotation(TestAnnotation)", returning = "entity")
public void test(JoinPoint joinPoint, Object entity){
//Looking for a way to set BaseDto in the TestDto and SampleDto objects
}
}
My aspect would be called from the converters class and returning objects can be SampleDto and TestDto. I am looking for a way to set the BaseDto object in them.
Edited
You can use java reflection to dynamically set BaseDto
object to entity
field.
1- Iterate through fields of
entity
.
- Check fields type (must equal to
BaseDto.class
)2- set accessibility of the checked field to
true
.3- set
new BaseDto()
to field.
@AfterReturning(pointcut = "servicePointCut()", returning = "entity")
public void afterReturningAdvice(JoinPoint joinPoint, Object entity) throws IllegalAccessException
{
//Iterate through fields of entity
for (Field field : entity.getClass().getDeclaredFields()) {
//Check type of field (equals to BaseDto.class)
if (field.getType().equals(BaseDto.class)) {
//Set accessibility of field to true
field.setAccessible(true);
//Set new BaseDto to entityobject
BaseDto baseDto = new BaseDto();
field.set(entity, baseDto);
}
}
//Rest of afterReturningAdvice method ...
}
