package org.aopalliance.intercept;


Intercepts the construction of a new object.

The user should implement the construct(ConstructorInvocation) method to modify the original behavior. E.g. the following class implements a singleton interceptor (allows only one unique instance for the intercepted class): 
class DebuggingInterceptor implements ConstructorInterceptor {
  Object instance=null;
  Object construct(ConstructorInvocation i) throws Throwable {
    if(instance==null) {
      return instance=i.proceed();
    } else {
      throw new Exception("singleton does not allow multiple instance");
    }
  }
}

Implement this method to perform extra treatments before and after the construction of a new object. Polite implementations would certainly like to invoke Joinpoint.proceed(). 
Params:
  • invocation – the construction joinpoint
Throws:
  • Throwable – if the interceptors or the target object
throws an exception
Returns:the newly created object, which is also the result of the call to Joinpoint.proceed(); might be replaced by the interceptor
