Hey,
You are probably more likely to get a good answer from stackoverflow where a bunch of the Spring Team are now hanging out.
From an AspectJ point of view, I would be using an additional pointcut/advice pair (possibly in a separate aspect) to make the aspectOf() call and bind it into the target component.
aspect Configurer {
before(SomeClass obj): execution(MyComponent.new(..)) && this(obj) {
obj.businessRuleManager = BusinessRuleAspect.aspectOf();
}
}
effectively this aspect is doing what spring would be doing. But I can't say for certain that it would work.
cheers,
Andy
