Package org.apache.shiro.aop

Components used to support the framework's AOP/interception support classes.

As this package is a root-level package under org.apache.shiro, it contains AOP support classes useful for any AOP environment and/or function. Feature-dependent AOP classes (e.g. authorization, authentication, etc) will use these classes as their base in their respective packages.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AnnotationResolver	Defines an AOP-framework-independent way of determining if an Annotation exists on a Method.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AnnotationHandler	Base support class for implementations that reads and processes JSR-175 annotations.
AnnotationMethodInterceptor	MethodInterceptor that inspects a specific annotation on the method invocation before continuing its execution.
DefaultAnnotationResolver	Default AnnotationResolver implementation that merely inspects the MethodInvocation's target method, and returns targetMethod..
MethodInterceptorSupport	This class is an abstraction of AOP method interceptor behavior specific to Shiro that leaves AOP implementation specifics to be handled by subclass implementations.
