## com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.annotations
Class AnnotationWorkflowInterceptor

    java.lang.Object
      com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor
          com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.annotations.AnnotationWorkflowInterceptor

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Interceptor, PreResultListener, Serializable

    public class AnnotationWorkflowInterceptor

extends AbstractInterceptor
implements PreResultListener

Invokes any annotated methods on the action. Specifically, it supports the following annotations:

- @`Before` - will be invoked before the action method. If the returned value is not null, it is returned as the action result code
- @`BeforeResult` - will be invoked after the action method but before the result execution
- @`After` - will be invoked after the action method and result execution

There can be multiple methods marked with the same annotations, but the order of their execution is not guaranteed. However, the annotated methods on the superclass chain are guaranteed to be invoked before the annotated method in the current class in the case of a `Before` annotations and after, if the annotations is `After`.

      public class BaseAnnotatedAction {
            protected String log = "";

            @Before
            public String baseBefore() {
                    log = log + "baseBefore-";
                    return null;
            }
      }

      public class AnnotatedAction extends BaseAnnotatedAction {
            @Before
            public String before() {
                    log = log + "before";
                    return null;
            }

            public String execute() {
                    log = log + "-execute";
                    return Action.SUCCESS;
            }

            @BeforeResult
            public void beforeResult() throws Exception {
                    log = log +"-beforeResult";
            }

            @After
            public void after() {
                    log = log + "-after";
            }
      }

With the interceptor applied and the action executed on `AnnotatedAction` the log instance variable will contain `baseBefore-before-execute-beforeResult-after`.

Configure a stack in xwork.xml that replaces the PrepareInterceptor with the AnnotationWorkflowInterceptor:

     <interceptor-stack name="annotatedStack">
            <interceptor-ref name="staticParams"/>
            <interceptor-ref name="params"/>
            <interceptor-ref name="conversionError"/>
            <interceptor-ref name="annotationWorkflow"/>
     </interceptor-stack>

  Specified by:
    `beforeResult` in interface `PreResultListener`
  Parameters:
    `invocation` - the action invocation
    `resultCode` - the result code returned by the action (eg. `success`).
