Re: [aspectj-users] Dynamically modifying Java class structure

Hi, Hendrik. What do you mean by "dynamically"? Do you mean "at
runtime"? If so, that's impossible to do...

Hi Eric, thanks for the reply. Yes, by "dynamic", I mean weaving/modifying a class whose name is only known at runtime.

Hi,

I am not sure whether the mailing list is an appropriate place to ask
the following questions, but I could not find the relevant newsgroup for
aspectj users (only found AJDT newsgroup),

I am trying to develop a solution to automatically insert new
constructors to existing classes. I've considered using AspectJ to do
it, however as far as I know it will only work if the name of the class
to be modified was known beforehand (has to be hardcoded in the aspect),
which is not applicable in my case.

So, could anyone please give me some suggestions or recommendations on
this? Especially in terms of the following:
- Is Aspectj the best tool to do this? If so, how to do it without
hardcoding class names?
- Should I look at bytecode reengineering/manipulation tools instead? If
so, what's the most suitable library for my case (since I am aware that
there are a lot of choices out there when it comes to bytecode
manipulation)?

Thanks a lot for any helps, suggestions, and ideas.

Regards,

Hendrik
