In this Spring AOP example, we will learn to use AspectJ @After annotation in Spring-based applications. After advice methods annotated with @After that will execute after a join point execution, no matter how the execution ended.
In this example, We will create a simple spring boot application, add logging aspect and then invoke aspect methods based on pointcuts information passed in a @After annotation.
AspectJ @After Annotation Usage
Below snippet shows usage of @After annotation:
package net.guides.springboot2.springaop.aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.After;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
/**
* Aspect for logging execution.
*
* @author Ramesh Fadatare
*
*/
@Aspect
@Component
public class LoggingAspect {
private final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
@After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.*(..))")
public void logAfterAllMethods(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterAllMethods() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
}
@After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.getEmployeeById(..))")
public void logAfterGetEmployee(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterGetEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
}
@After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.addEmployee(..))")
public void logAfterAddEmployee(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterCreateEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
}
@After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.deleteEmployee(..))")
public void logAfterDeleteEmployee(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterCreateEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
}
@After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.getAllEmployees(..))")
public void logAfterGetAllEmployees(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterCreateEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName());
}
}
Let's demonstrate the usage of @After annotation with a complete step by step example.
1. Creating a Spring Boot Application
There are many ways to create a Spring Boot application. You can refer below articles to create a Spring Boot application.
>> Create Spring Boot Project With Spring Initializer
>> Create Spring Boot Project in Spring Tool Suite [STS]
>> Create Spring Boot Project in Spring Tool Suite [STS]
Refer next step to create project packaging structure.

Project Structure
Below project structure for your reference -
Create an Aspect - LogginAspect.java
package net.guides.springboot2.springaop.aspect; import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint; import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.After; import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; /** * Aspect for logging execution. * * @author Ramesh Fadatare * */ @Aspect @Component public class LoggingAspect { private final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass()); @After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.*(..))") public void logAfterAllMethods(JoinPoint joinPoint) { LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterAllMethods() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName()); } @After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.getEmployeeById(..))") public void logAfterGetEmployee(JoinPoint joinPoint) { LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterGetEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName()); } @After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.addEmployee(..))") public void logAfterAddEmployee(JoinPoint joinPoint) { LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterCreateEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName()); } @After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.deleteEmployee(..))") public void logAfterDeleteEmployee(JoinPoint joinPoint) { LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterCreateEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName()); } @After("execution(* net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService.getAllEmployees(..))") public void logAfterGetAllEmployees(JoinPoint joinPoint) { LOGGER.debug("****LoggingAspect.logAfterCreateEmployee() : " + joinPoint.getSignature().getName()); } }
Create a Java POJO - Employee.java
package net.guides.springboot2.springaop.model;
public class Employee {
private long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String emailId;
public Employee() {
}
public Employee(long id, String firstName, String lastName, String emailId) {
this.id = id;
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.emailId = emailId;
}
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getEmailId() {
return emailId;
}
public void setEmailId(String emailId) {
this.emailId = emailId;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Employee [id=" + id + ", firstName=" + firstName + ", lastName=" + lastName + ", emailId=" + emailId
+ "]";
}
}
Create service methods - EmployeeService.java
Let's create a few service methods for Employee on which aspects need to be executed.
package net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import net.guides.springboot2.springaop.model.Employee;
/**
* Employee Service
*
* @author Ramesh
*
*/
@Service
public class EmployeeService {
private List < Employee > employees = new ArrayList < > ();
public List < Employee > getAllEmployees() {
System.out.println("Method getAllEmployees() called");
return employees;
}
public Employee getEmployeeById(Long employeeId) {
System.out.println("Method getEmployeeById() called");
for (Employee employee: employees) {
if (employee.getId() == Long.valueOf(employeeId)) {
return employee;
}
}
return null;
}
public void addEmployee(Employee employee) {
System.out.println("Method addEmployee() called");
employees.add(employee);
}
public void updateEmployee(Employee employeeDetails) {
System.out.println("Method updateEmployee() called");
for (Employee employee: employees) {
if (employee.getId() == Long.valueOf(employeeDetails.getId())) {
employees.remove(employee);
employees.add(employeeDetails);
}
}
}
public void deleteEmployee(Long employeeId) {
System.out.println("Method deleteEmployee() called");
for (Employee employee: employees) {
if (employee.getId() == Long.valueOf(employeeId)) {
employees.remove(employee);
}
}
}
}
Test Spring AspectJ Configuration and Execution
Now let’s test whether the above-configured aspects execute on given pointcut information using Spring boot Application:
package net.guides.springboot2.springaop;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import net.guides.springboot2.springaop.model.Employee;
import net.guides.springboot2.springaop.service.EmployeeService;
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext applicationContext = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
EmployeeService employeeService = applicationContext.getBean(EmployeeService.class);
employeeService.addEmployee(new Employee(100 L, "ramesh", "fadatare", "ramesh@gmail.com"));
employeeService.getEmployeeById(100 L);
employeeService.getAllEmployees();
}
}
Output:
From the above diagram, it clears that aspect advice executed on relevant joinpoints.
