## Class IntroductionInfoSupport

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.aop.support.IntroductionInfoSupport

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, IntroductionInfo
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    DelegatePerTargetObjectIntroductionInterceptor, DelegatingIntroductionInterceptor

      public class IntroductionInfoSupport
      extends Object
      implements IntroductionInfo, Serializable

  Support for implementations of `IntroductionInfo`.

  Allows subclasses to conveniently add all interfaces from a given object, and to suppress interfaces that should not be added. Also allows for querying all introduced interfaces.

          public IntroductionInfoSupport()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### suppressInterface

          public void suppressInterface(Class intf)

      Suppress the specified interface, which may have been autodetected due to the delegate implementing it. Call this method to exclude internal interfaces from being visible at the proxy level.

      Does nothing if the interface is not implemented by the delegate.

      Parameters:
        `intf` - the interface to suppress

    - #### getInterfaces

          public Class[] getInterfaces()

      Description copied from interface: `IntroductionInfo`
      Return the additional interfaces introduced by this Advisor or Advice.
      Specified by:
        `getInterfaces` in interface `IntroductionInfo`
      Returns:
        the introduced interfaces

    - #### implementsInterface

          public boolean implementsInterface(Class ifc)

      Check whether the specified interfaces is a published introduction interface.
      Parameters:
        `ifc` - the interface to check
      Returns:
        whether the interface is part of this introduction

    - #### implementInterfacesOnObject

          protected void implementInterfacesOnObject(Object delegate)

      Publish all interfaces that the given delegate implements at the proxy level.
      Parameters:
        `delegate` - the delegate object

    - #### isMethodOnIntroducedInterface

          protected final boolean isMethodOnIntroducedInterface(MethodInvocation mi)

      Is this method on an introduced interface?
      Parameters:
        `mi` - the method invocation
      Returns:
        whether the invoked method is on an introduced interface
