This package provides an API for program instrumentation.
This package provides a set of interfaces for applying
intrumentations on a program, i.e. a program modification which
adds some feature (methods, classes, code) to the original
program. These instrumentations are abstractly defined and can
occur at compile-time, load-time, or runtime depending on the
{@link org.aopalliance.instrument.Instrumentor}
implementation. Moreover, since it uses the {@link
org.aopalliance.reflect} package which provides an abstract
representation of the program, the instrumentations can be
implemented at a source-code level or at a bytecode level,
depending on the implementation.
This API is specific to AOP. This means that the set of program
instrumentations that is allowed is a restricted set compared to a
general-purpose API. However, general-purpose transformation
tools should provide an implementation of this API in order to be
easily used by several AO systems.
Dependencies
This package requires the {@link org.aopalliance.reflect} package.
