Re: [aspectj-users] How to lauch aspectjweaver at runtime?

[Simone Gianni <simoneg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Santhosh,
you have two options:
- control the class loading of your servlets and use one of the weaving classloaders provided by AspectJ.
- weave all the JARs and the classes in your WAR at build time, and deploy a WAR with aspects already weaved in, using ajc (command line, ant task, or maven plugin), and the inpath option.

I prefer the second option : 
- taking control of classloading in a JEE environment is never a "good thing"
- the weaver has a memory footprint, it is not important during build, but can be during runtime
- the weaver introduces a startup delay (cause classes are weaved while loaded), from something monolithic like a WAR it's better to spend that time during the build than at each deploy of the webapp

We are using the aspjectJ 1.6.8 version and currently we are launching it using the JVM -javaagent option.

 

How we can launch the aspect weaver at runtime? Like from a servlet.

 

Thanks,

Santhosh
