public interface AfterReturningAdvice extends AfterAdvice {
Callback after a given method successfully returned.
Params:
  • returnValue – the value returned by the method, if any
  • method – method being invoked
  • args – arguments to the method
  • target – target of the method invocation. May be null.
Throws:
  • Throwable – if this object wishes to abort the call. Any exception thrown will be returned to the caller if it's allowed by the method signature. Otherwise the exception will be wrapped as a runtime exception.
