["Sean R. Drucker" <sean.drucker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JBoss AOP has been released and is available as a standalone download:

There are some good discussions under the forums section on JBoss AOP
vs. AspectJ.  Basically, JBoss is a subset of AspectJ that avoids the
creation of aspect classes and moves the class weaving to runtime via a
system class loader.  Instead of an aspect class, the aspect definition
is done in an XML file and an Interceptor framework is introduced to use
plain old java objects instead of an aspect class.  This limits the
pointcut definitions, avoids compiling, and makes it easier for
beginners to understand.

My question is:  Has anyone attempted to duplicate the JBoss AOP
framework using AspectJ (basically using an Aspect vs. an XML file)?
