How to call a method as a response to another method call in Java?

Suppose you have a Library L.jar which contains class C.class and a method m.

Now, you have a project which imports this library and uses the m method.

In the project there is class X with method mX.

What I want to do is to somehow monitor all invocations of the method m and invoke the method mX whenever method m gets invoked.

If I can somehow read the parameters which get passed to method m when invoking it, that would be awesome.

Is this possible in Java and if so, how to do it?

There are two approaches. You can either use AspectJ to intercept your program calls. OR You should be wrapping L.jar method m into a class of yours and expose that class to end user. end user should be using this class to invoke m. now you will have full control on who is calling m with which parameters. The downside is that user can always call m directly and bypass your code.
