- Runtime Behavioral Reflection.
-
- <p>(also recently known as interceptors or AOP?)
-
- <p>This package enables a metaobject to trap method calls and field
- accesses on a regular Java object. It provides a class
- <code>Reflection</code>, which is a main module for implementing
- runtime behavioral reflection.
- It also provides
- a class <code>Loader</code> and <code>Compiler</code>
- as utilities for dynamically or statically
- translating a regular class into a reflective class.
-
- <p>An instance of the reflective class is associated with
- a runtime metaobject and a runtime class metaobject, which control
- the behavior of that instance.
- The runtime
- metaobject is created for every (base-level) instance but the
- runtime class metaobject is created for every (base-level) class.
- <code>Metaobject</code> is the root class of the runtime
- metaobject and <code>ClassMetaobject</code> is the root class
- of the runtime class metaobject.
-
- <p>This package is provided as a sample implementation of the
- reflection mechanism with Javassist. All the programs in this package
- uses only the regular Javassist API; they never call any hidden
- methods.
-
- <p>The most significant class in this package is <code>Reflection</code>.
- See the description of this class first.
