“…Dynamic approaches to achieving efficiency in MOP-based languages include caching and optimistic optimisation [15]. These solutions can adapt when types are dynamically modified and this provides an interesting challenge for a static-MOP based approach.…”

“…Contrary to regular wrappers that delegate to the wrappee and that implement the same interface as the wrappee [30,31,32], dynamic wrappers rely on a Meta-Object Protocol (MOP) [33,34,35,36] that uses reflection for its implementation. The JAC MOP implementation uses a load-time transformation technique that inserts hooks into the wrappers.…”

SUMMARYIn this paper, we present the JAC (Java Aspect Components) framework for building aspect-oriented distributed applications in Java. This paper describes the aspect-oriented programming model and the architectural details of the framework implementation. The framework enables extension of application semantics for handling well-separated concerns. This is achieved with a software entity called an aspect component (AC). ACs provide distributed pointcuts, dynamic wrappers and metamodel annotations. Distributed pointcuts are a key feature of our framework. They enable the definition of crosscutting structures that do not need to be located on a single host. ACs are dynamic. They can be added, removed, and controlled at runtime. This enables our framework for use in highly dynamic environments where adaptable software is needed.

“…Sullivan [32] describes a model of aspect-oriented programming controlled by metaobject protocols (MOPs). In this model, MOPs control how the weaving process of aspects is performed, introducing the potential for dynamic control of this process through mutable MOPs.…”
