Spring AOP JoinPoint and Advice Arguments

Spring JoinPoint and Advice Arguments

Join point: A point during the execution of a program, such as the execution of a method or the handling of an exception. In Spring AOP, a join point always represents a method execution. Join point information is available in advice bodies by declaring a parameter of type org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint.
