Classifying weaving models
Using build-time weaving
Using load-time weaving
Until now, we've focused on writing aspects. But for aspects to have effect, you need to weave them. Weaving, a fundamentally critical mechanism in implementing AOP, composes classes and aspects into an executable system.
The most basic form of weaving is build-time source-code weaving, where the AspectJ compiler compiles source files to produce a woven system. Although this form offers the best experience by providing immediate feedback for source-code errors and by eliminating deployment modifications, using a new compiler can impede AOP adoption. One alternative is build-time byte-code weaving, which lets you delay the ...
