The MyBatis SQL mapper framework makes it easier to use a relational database with object-oriented applications. MyBatis couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using a XML descriptor or annotations. Simplicity is the biggest advantage of the MyBatis data mapper over object relational mapping tools.

The newest version!



Runtime Behavioral Reflection.

(also recently known as interceptors or AOP?)

This package enables a metaobject to trap method calls and field
accesses  on a regular Java object.  It provides a class
Reflection, which is a main module for implementing
runtime behavioral reflection.
It also provides
a class Loader and Compiler
as utilities for dynamically or statically
translating a regular class into a reflective class.

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.
Metaobject is the root class of the runtime
metaobject and ClassMetaobject is the root class
of the runtime class metaobject.

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.

The most significant class in this package is Reflection.
See the description of this class first.
