[Springframework-developer] Extending Spring AOP

[Rob H. <ro...@ca...>]

All,

I am planning to add to an additional proxy implementation to Spring to 
solve some of the problems we are experiencing with other approaches and 
to allow for additional optimizations and advice types to be added in 
the most efficient way.

Currently, I'm looking at two separate approaches - Java-based using 
Janino and Bytecode-based using SERP. The Java-based approach should be 
quite simple to create and could be coupled with Velocity to externalize 
much of the boilerplate code needed for the creation of proxy classes. 
Alternatively we could add a simple abstraction layer on top of Janino, 
a la .NET CodeDOM (good idea James). The bytecode approach is much more 
complex and will be harder to debug but it would probably allow for 
absolute raw performance.

I am comfortable with either approach although I think that Janino would 
be ideal for our purposes.

Your thoughts?
