Re: Dynamic configuration

Hi Vincent.

Thanks.

The advices can be dynamically be added, rearranged and removed at 
runtime without reloading your classes. (See the docs: 
[http://aspectwerkz.sourceforge.net/documentation.html#Hot%20deployment].)

The limitation is that you can only do this at pointcuts that has 
already been advised. I.e. you have to know the places where you want to 
be able to handle the advices dynamically. (Either you know these points 
or you have to be *very* generous when defining your pointcuts.)

If you reload your classes at runtime then you should as well be able to 
change the pointcuts, e.g. transform your classes according to a 
modified XML defininition. This since the framework reloads the 
definition file as soon as it has been updated (or the attributes if you 
are using runtime attributes). This feature I have not had the time to 
test thoroughly.

I don't know if this is sufficient for you.

Sincerely, Jonas.
