[jboss-user] [Javassist] - Proxing methods that are called from within the proxy instance itself

Electro Type [https://community.jboss.org/people/electrotype] created the discussion "Proxing methods that are called from within the proxy instance itself" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/817501#817501 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm new to Javassist. Thanks a lot to the developers of this project! I'm pretty sure it's not the first time this question is asked, but I did a search and found nothing. I'm proxying an abstract class. Something like this (I hope I'm not making any mistakes since this is not the exact code I use) : ProxyFactory factory = new ProxyFactory(); factory.setSuperclass(MyAbstractClass.class); factory.setFilter(new MethodFilter() {     public boolean isHandled(Method method)     {         return true;     } }   MyAbstractClass myInstance = (IDictionary<?>) factory.create(new Class<?>[0], new Object[0], new MyHandler());   MyAbstractClass is : public abstract class MyAbstractClass {     public String sayHello()     {         return "Hello";     }       public String sayHelloWord()     {         return sayHello() + " World!";     } }   And MyHandler is Something like : public class MyHandler implements MethodHandler {     public Object invoke(Object self, Method thisMethod, Method proceed, Object[] args) throws Throwable     {         System.out.println("In invoke()!");           [ + code to actually call thisMethod on the self object ]     } }   Now, If I call : myInstance.sayHelloWord(); The +invoke()+ method will be called first, since I told Javassist to handle all methods. But - and this is my question - when +sayHello()+ is called from say+HelloWord()+, *it is called directly, without going through +invoke()+ first!* Is there a way to make all methods, even when they are called from within the instance itself, being proxied and going through +invoke()+? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/817501#817501] Start a new discussion in Javassist at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
