subclassing Spring's controllers

[s o]

Hi all,

we're starting a new project using Spring with a Oracle db. We have
some housekeeping/infrastructure task that needs to be procssed for
almost every web request (e.g. auditing the request.) what would be a
good approach to this? Does Spring's different controllers already
offer a hook for this? I was thinking putting a layer betwn my
controllers and spring's controllers. For example: MySimpleFormBase
extends SimpleFormController, MyMultiActionBase extends
MultiActionController. This should work but not very elegant. Can
anyone shed some lights on this? thanks.

Have you thought about using AOP for this type of stuff? Spring
(especiall v.2 coming up soon) offers great facilities for wrapping any
business object with aspects which you should use for
logging/auditing/...
