[aspectj-dev] adding an aspect at runtime to an object

[Luca Ferrari <fluca1978@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm new to AOP and I've got a doubt due to a piece of code I've seen a 
few time ago. The code was like the following:

Object o = new MyObject();
MyAspect a = new MyAspect();
a.addObject(o);


the idea was to use the aspect a to insert methods and variables into 
the o object. But it sounds like the addObject method does not exists in 
AspectJ, thus my question is if it's a feature removed (or another 
language that I cannot find) and how I can merge an aspect with an 
object at runtime. And what happen then? Is there a dynamic bytecode 
manipulation?

Thanks,
Luca
