Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ and memory management
|
Noone knows anything about this, or is it really impossible to do?
Is noone using AspectJ with enormous object graphs? If yes, then how do
you handle it?

Hi!
I am investigating how it would be possible to implement memory
management techniques for introductions in AspectJ.
Basically, if a class A has a stateful "perthis" introduction X, which
adds an implementation of the interface Y to A, then I want to control
how instances of X are managed. Specifically, an instantiation of A
should not cause an instantiation of X. An invocation of Y on A must
enable X to be instantiated and loaded with persistent state, and after
the invocation it must be possible to GC X (compare this with, for
example, JDO and EJB EntityBeans). This allows for the construction of a
scalable domain model using introductions.
I've looked around in the documentation but can't find much info on how
introductions are managed, in this sense. Is what I'm after possible to
do in AspectJ?
If yes, then how? If no, then why not?
