Spring / Spring7 basics Interview questions
What are the types of Spring AOP advice?
Advice is the action Spring AOP takes at a matched join point. Spring supports five advice types, each firing at a different moment relative to the method call.
| Advice | Fires |
@Before | Before the method executes |
@AfterReturning | After the method returns successfully |
@AfterThrowing | After the method throws an exception |
@After | Regardless of outcome (like finally) |
@Around | Wraps the method; can control if/when it runs |
@Around is the most powerful since it receives a ProceedingJoinPoint and decides whether to call the target method at all, but the other four are simpler to reason about for straightforward logging or validation use cases.
Which advice type can decide whether the target method runs at all?
Which advice type runs regardless of whether the method threw an exception?
