Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5

Best practices of AOP proxies

We learned about AOP proxies and how AOP proxies work. We learned about different types of proxies in Spring AOP. The following are best practices to be followed while implementing AOP proxies in Spring:

• Unless we need to perform a manipulative action at runtime or we want to gain fine-grained control of our proxies, use the declarative method of proxy configuration over the programmatic method.
• Spring recommends JDK dynamic proxy over the CGLIB proxy wherever possible. If we are building our application from scratch and there is no requirement to create proxies of third-party APIs, implement the abstraction layer to loosely-couple the implementation using the interface and let Spring use the JDK dynamic proxy ...
