Class DelegatingInvocationHandler

java.lang.Object

mondrian.util.DelegatingInvocationHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

InvocationHandler

public abstract class DelegatingInvocationHandler
extends Object
implements InvocationHandler

A class derived from DelegatingInvocationHandler handles a method call by looking for a method in itself with identical parameters. If no such method is found, it forwards the call to a fallback object, which must implement all of the interfaces which this proxy implements.

It is useful in creating a wrapper class around an interface which may change over time.

Example:

import java.sql.Connection;
 Connection connection = ...;
 Connection tracingConnection = (Connection) Proxy.newProxyInstance(
     null,
     new Class[] {Connection.class},
     new DelegatingInvocationHandler() {
         protected Object getTarget() {
             return connection;
         }
         Statement createStatement() {
             System.out.println("statement created");
             return connection.createStatement();
         }
     });

Method Detail

invoke

public Object invoke(Object proxy,
            Method method,
            Object[] args)
              throws Throwable

Specified by:

invoke in interface InvocationHandler

Throws:

Throwable

getTarget

protected Object getTarget()
                    throws InvocationTargetException

Returns the object to forward method calls to, should the derived class not implement the method. Generally, this object will be a member of the derived class, supplied as a parameter to its constructor.

The default implementation returns null, which will cause the invoke(Object, java.lang.reflect.Method, Object[]) method to throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the derived class does not have the required method.

Returns:

object to forward method calls to

Throws:

InvocationTargetException - if there is an error acquiring the target
