There are several simple implicit [AOP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming) (Aspect Oriented Programming) interceptor methods, usually referred to as **advices**, that can be declared in your event handler that the framework will use in order to execute them **before/after** and **around** an event as its fired from the current handler.

This is great for intercepting calls, pre/post processing, localized security, logging, RESTful conventions, and much more. Yes, you got that right, [Aspect Oriented Programming](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming) just for you and without all the complicated setup involved! If you declared them, the framework will execute them.

| **Interceptor Method** | **Description**                                                    |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `preHandler()`         | Executes **before** any requested action (In the same handler CFC) |
| `pre{action}()`        | Executes **before** the `{action}` requested ONLY                  |
| `postHandler()`        | Executes **after** any requested action (In the same handler CFC)  |
| `post{action}()`       | Executes **after** the `{action}` requested ONLY                   |
| `aroundHandler()`      | Executes **around** any request action (In the same handler CFC)   |
| `around{action}()`     | Executes **around** the `{action}` requested ONLY                  |
