[aspectj-users] Challenge

Hi

I have a bunch of integration beans that communicate with backend systems. Because these backend systems might be unavailable I was thinking about doing something in the lines of the following in order to avoid crashes or hangs in the integration beans:

	use introduction to add som extra attributes to them.
	use constructor advice to set these attributes from a common system that is aware of the state of the backend systems and holds informations relevant for the communication
	use around advice for the backend calls checking the introduced attributes in order to see if the call should proceed.

My question then goes: Is this doable? 
How do I go about getting access to the introduced attribute from the around advice?

As an added flavour: I am contemplating using Glassbox, and then expose the intruduced attributes in the JMX beans so that I could use a JMX console to manage them. Doable?
