Creating an interceptor which logs every entry/method call on an EJB

Submitted by Jochus on Tue, 11/08/2015 - 22:39 | Posted in: Java



I needed to log all the calls to all methods made to a certain EJB (because I wanted to know which methods were called from which place). The reason was locks I received on a stateless session bean. I could use a debugger, but because I'm talking about a lot of functions and a lot of calls, I created a LogInterceptor:

package be.jochenhebbrecht.ejb.interceptor;
 
import javax.interceptor.AroundInvoke;
import javax.interceptor.InvocationContext;
 
public class LogInterceptor{
 
	@AroundInvoke
	public Object intercept(InvocationContext context) throws Exception {
                // Log to console before executing method
		System.out.println("Entering method:" + context.getMethod().getName());
 
                // Execute method
		Object result = context.proceed();
 
                // Log to console after executing method
		System.out.println("Leaving method: " + context.getMethod().getName() );
 
		return result;
	}
}

To use the interceptor, simply add the following code

package be.jochenhebbrecht.ejb;
 
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.interceptor.Interceptors;
 
import be.jochenhebbrecht.ejb.interceptor.LogInterceptor;
 
@Stateless
@Interceptors(LogInterceptor.class)
public class SomeStatelessEJB{
 
	public String foo(String bar) {
            // Do something ...
	}
 
}
