    - #### getMostSpecificMethod

          public static Method getMostSpecificMethod(Method method,
                                                     Class<?> targetClass)

      Given a method, which may come from an interface, and a target class used in the current AOP invocation, find the corresponding target method if there is one. E.g. the method may be `IFoo.bar()` and the target class may be `DefaultFoo`. In this case, the method may be `DefaultFoo.bar()`. This enables attributes on that method to be found.

      NOTE: In contrast to `ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Class<?>)`, this method resolves Java 5 bridge methods in order to retrieve attributes from the original method definition.

      Parameters:
        `method` - the method to be invoked, which may come from an interface
        `targetClass` - the target class for the current invocation. May be `null` or may not even implement the method.
      Returns:
        the specific target method, or the original method if the `targetClass` doesn't implement it or is `null`
      See Also:
        `ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Class<?>)`
