[Springframework-developer] AOP

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

All,

I've just checked in some enhancements to AOP support. Earlier today I also
fixed a problem reported by Claude Hussenet in the forums--AOP prototypes
not being independent.

The enhancements are:

- All AOP proxies can be cast to ProxyConfig. This enables them to be
programmatically interrogated or manipulated. Not saying this is a great
idea in general, as callers shouldn't normally depend on the AOP
infrastructure, just the interfaces something implements. AOP is normally an
implementation detail. Nevertheless I think this is useful functionality. I
had this in the previous iteration of Spring AOP. JBoss 4 also offers a
similar feature.

- CGLIB proxies support introductions, and the addition of new interfaces.

- It's possible to force an AOP proxy factory to use CGLIB by setting the
proxyTargetClass property in ProxyConfig to true. This will work even with
interfaces.

Regards,
Rod
