Weaving is the process of linking aspects with other application types or objects to create an advised object.
47.What are the different points where weaving can be applied?
Weaving can be done at compile time, load time, or at runtime.
48.What are the types of advice?
Spring aspects can work with five kinds of advice mentioned below:
before: Run advice before the a method execution.
after: Run advice after the a method execution regardless of its outcome.
after-returning: Run advice after the a method execution only if method completes successfully.
after-throwing: Run advice after the a method execution only if method exits by throwing an exception.
around: Run advice before and after the advised method is invoked.
49.What is XML Schema based aspect implementation?
Aspects are implemented using regular classes along with XML based configuration.
50.What is @AspectJ? based aspect implementation?
@AspectJ refers to a style of declaring aspects as regular Java classes annotated with Java 5 annotations.
